Why We Exist
For far too long, people with disabilities and marginalized communities have faced barriers to homeownership, financial stability, accessible transportation, and supportive services. The SJ Wilkes Group creates the solutions — and the SJ Wilkes Foundation powers those solutions by bringing the funding, supporters, and visibility needed to move them forward.
At the SJ Wilkes Foundation, we believe that fundraising is not just about raising money — it’s about raising hope, opportunity, and long-term empowerment.
Our Commitment
Every dollar raised, every event hosted, and every partnership formed supports the development of:
- Accessible housing
- Disability-inclusive programs
- Community projects
- International accessible communities
- Youth mentoring initiatives
- Advocacy and social justice work
- Essential services created by the SJ Wilkes Group
We are committed to transparency, impact, and ensuring that every contribution directly supports meaningful, measurable change.
