Big A Foundation

ABOUT US

Two homes, one foundation.

Big A Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that started with a children's Christmas party in Dallas–Fort Worth and has grown into year-round community programs, family resources and events for DFW families. That same spirit now reaches across the Atlantic, where we're backing schools, scholarships, arts and culture, and entrepreneurs across Nigeria and Africa — anchored by our first school rising in Orlu, Imo State.

#WECARE

We care, wherever that takes us.

Since our earliest days, that's been the whole idea — show up for the people in front of you, whether that's a family in DFW or a child across the Atlantic. It's the thread running through every program, every party, every trip to Nigeria.
