Everyone should have a chance.
If you know anything about Jarred’s family, you know he was practically born on the court with both parents and his siblings established players in their own right. But basketball isn’t the only thing that runs in his blood. Generosity and the belief that everyone should have a chance at greatness runs just as deep.
It’s this belief that runs at the heart of this foundation. Whether it’s a chance for food security, education and basic needs, or a chance for self belief and the opportunity to reach for something greater, the Jarred Vanderbilt Foundation exists to make those chances a reality to minority kids and communities around us.
Our Mission
We exist to increase academic, social and economic awareness within local minority communities through philanthropic missions.
