Founded by the leaders of this country’s most well-known charitable endeavors, the Heart of America Foundation® has worked for nearly ten years to give children the tools they need to read, succeed and make a difference.

Our programs focus on literacy and community service, utilizing a series of connected programs to accomplish our mission: to teach the values at the heart of America and to teach people, particularly children, that they help themselves when they help others. We identify and reward inspirational young people and adults, and we send them into schools across the country - public, private, rural and inner-city - to inspire others to emulate their good work and commit to public service.
