Help Build Our BF Forever Home

In 2011, an Indianapolis student named Brandon was offered a life-changing opportunity: a spot in an international youth leadership program in Australia. Brandon had never left his hometown, let alone flown on an airplane. To a young kid with big potential, traveling across the world felt almost impossible.

But through two months of relentless community support, prayer, and fundraising, Brandon made it to Australia. He swam with dolphins, met international leaders, and discovered that his world was far bigger than his circumstances.

That single trip transformed Brandon’s belief in what was possible. It also planted the seed for The Brandon Foundation.

We created this foundation to answer one fundamental question: How many “Brandons” are right here in Fort Wayne waiting for someone to believe in their dreams? Today, we protect, nurture, and empower those very dreams every single day.

Every child deserves a community that invests in their future.
