OUR IMPACT

COMMUNITY IMPACT

We Measure Impact by What Matters.

Legacy Foundation for Change measures success by more than the number of programs we host. We measure success by the people reached, opportunities created, skills developed, connections made, and communities strengthened.

Our impact is rooted in showing up for our community, creating meaningful opportunities, and providing resources that help individuals and families move forward.

Our Back-to-School Drive is about more than backpacks—it’s about helping children begin the school year feeling prepared, supported, and confident. In 2026, Legacy Foundation for Change welcomed more than 260 community members and distributed over 200 backpacks to children and families from Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Washington, D.C., and surrounding communities. Despite the rain, families showed up, volunteers stepped in, and our community came together to make sure children had the resources they needed to start the school year strong.

We believe it’s never too early to introduce young people to entrepreneurship and the power of creating something of their own. Through our Youth Entrepreneurship T-Shirt Workshop, young participants explored creativity, branding, business concepts, and the process of turning an idea into a product. This hands-on experience introduced youth to entrepreneurship while encouraging creativity, confidence, and the belief that their ideas have value.

Financial education is at the heart of our work because understanding money can help change the direction of an individual or family’s future. Through our financial literacy programming, we create opportunities for youth and adults to learn about budgeting, saving, credit, financial decision-making, and building financial stability. Our goal is to provide practical tools people can use in everyday life while building the confidence to make informed financial choices.

Our community workshops create spaces where people can learn, connect, ask questions, and walk away with something they can use. From financial education to personal development and wellness, our workshops are designed around real needs within the communities we serve. In 2026, our Paint Branch Lunch & Learn brought financial education directly to more than 30 students, giving young people an opportunity to begin thinking about money, goals, and their future.

The Season of Joy is our reminder that every family deserves the opportunity to experience a little joy during the holiday season. Through our toy giveaway, Legacy Foundation for Change brought together volunteers, donors, and community partners to provide toys and gifts to more than 40 families and approximately 50–60 children. What began with a simple goal—to give—became a meaningful celebration of generosity, community, and the power of showing up for one another.

None of our work happens alone. Our volunteers, partners, sponsors, and community members are an important part of everything we do. From preparing supplies and welcoming families to supporting workshops and community events, volunteers help turn ideas into impact. We believe that when people give their time, talents, resources, and energy, communities become stronger—and everyone has something valuable to contribute.
