Founded to honor Anika James's passion for service, education, and the arts.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in September 2011, championing the healthy development of young people worldwide.
The Anika James Foundation supports young people worldwide through scholarships, educational and performing arts projects, and sustainable grassroots initiatives that strengthen education and community.
Everything we do traces back to one belief: every young person deserves to feel seen, valued, and hopeful.
Each scholarship, grant, and award carries that belief forward to the next young person who needs it.
