What We Do

Act as liaisons to Black, Faith Based organizations, Conservative candidates, party and elected officials.

We will reach out to educate the social, cultural, spiritual, and civic rights needs of our nation.

Train political workers, volunteers, and candidates as leaders in the political arena.

Provide tools for improving the economic status of the individuals, families and businesses within the targeted communities, thus, enhancing the quality of life.

Our Leadership

Members of the Frederick Douglass Foundation believe: We live in a land of liberty where natural rights of individuals precede and supersede the power of the state. We are a constitutional republic in which government power is limited and employed for the purpose of providing legitimate public goods rather than for the benefit of insiders and narrow interest groups.

We believe in the free market in which persons, individually or collectively, have the natural right to sell goods and services to willing buyers, and in which the individual pursuit of economic opportunity benefits all.

We are a free society where citizens solve social problems not only through government but also by working together in families, neighborhoods, churches, charities, and other private, voluntary organizations.
