Guided by the legacy of Paul Brown, the Paul Brown Legacy Foundation believes that every individual—regardless of their background—deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, achieve their dreams, and contribute to their community. Rooted in faith, family, and service, the Foundation partners with local organizations, educational institutions, and community leaders to invest in transformative programs that uplift underserved populations.
Our mission is to honor Paul Brown’s values by supporting initiatives in education, faith-based development, health access, and economic opportunity—especially for African American communities and historically marginalized groups across the Southeast and beyond.
The Foundation is based in Washington, DC, and operates under the direction of its Board of Directors.
