The Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation Inc

The Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation Inc is a U.S. non-profit organization dedicated to providing youth outreach services aimed at cultivating the next generation of responsible leaders.

Mission and Goals

The foundation's mission is to meet the holistic needs of children by fostering excellence in education, health, and social well-being, particularly in urban and ethnically diverse communities. It strives to be a change-agent, ensuring that all aspects of a child's development are supported through comprehensive programs and partnerships with community-based organizations.

Programs

The foundation offers several programs designed to empower young individuals:

• Steve Harvey Mentoring Program (SHMP): This program focuses on teaching the principles of manhood, helping young men realize their potential and envision a productive future. It aims to introduce positive role models who embody a healthy understanding of manhood.
• Girls Who Rule the World: Marjorie Harvey’s initiative is designed to enhance the development of young girls by promoting positive self-image, responsible conduct, and respect for oneself and others. This is achieved through educational achievement, cultural enrichment, and mentoring.
• Academic Scholarships: The foundation has granted over $700,000 in scholarships over the past ten years, enabling deserving youth to pursue their academic goals.
• Community Service: It partners with organizations to provide essential services such as food, clothing, shelter, and other necessities to underserved communities.
• Follow-Up Programs: Beyond initial mentoring camps, the foundation offers follow-up programs to ensure ongoing development and support.
• Single Mothers Enrichment: Provides principles of success for raising young men, empowering mothers to become mentally, emotionally, financially, and physically strong.

Operations and Impact

Based in Atlanta, GA, the foundation operates as a private foundation. While it has provided significant support through scholarships and community partnerships, recent filings indicate a focus on internal programs rather than grant distribution.

History and Leadership

The foundation is led by Steve Harvey and his wife Marjorie Harvey, with a board that includes family members and other dedicated directors. It has been actively involved in community development for several years, though specific historical milestones are not widely documented.
