The AnnieRuth Foundation was established in 2012. This 501(c)3 organization is named after Ruth Kearney, the grandmother of Founder, Dee Wilcox. Its purpose is to serve as a catalyst of positive change in underserved communities.
The foundation focuses on education, health initiatives, and economic development. Our goal is to equip participants with knowledge and skills to assist with making healthy life choices; thus empowering them to become positive contributors to society. Our programs offer viable solutions to problems that negatively impact individuals, the family unit and the community as a whole; problems that if unaddressed will negatively impact future generations.
The AnnieRuth Foundation has a deep commitment to the personal, educational and professional achievement of those we serve.
To strengthen underserved communities by providing services and resources in an effort to educate, enrich and empower families on the First Coast.
To be a catalyst of positive change in underserved communities.
Passionate (we believe that “passion” drives one to do their best work; we are passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve)
Respect (we believe that every soul deserves to be treated with dignity; therefore we handle every interaction with the highest level of respect)
Equality (we believe that we are neither above nor beneath anyone else regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or gender; we are all human beings seeking to make this world a better place of which to live)
Accountable (we believe that each person should be held accountable for their actions; making no excuses but a commitment to do better)
Committed (we believe that programs should be solution-oriented and results driven; therefore we are committed to continuously evaluating our programs ensuring that they are suitable for those we serve)
Sowing seeds, strengthening communities
Thank you very much for coming and presenting (the Resume Writing and Behavioral Interviewing Techniques workshop) to my students. You were able to answer (the tough) questions that I wasn’t 100 percent certain of.
I was so excited when I learned that I would be working at a publishing company! There was never a dull moment working with my mentor. I am extremely blessed for being an award recipient of the AnnieRuth Foundation’s summer internship program because I was able to learn more about my future career of becoming a journalist and got paid for it. It was an amazing experience!
“The Annie Ruth Foundation went above and beyond to not only prepare an important and dynamic presentation, but independently took the time to understand our group’s unique needs and actually customized a presentation to best support our specific class goals. After these two presentations (Public Speaking & Diversity in Action), we feel even more confident and prepared for our students’ upcoming meeting with the Department of Justice in Washington, DC!” Thank you, Annie Ruth Foundation!
