Help Us Help Others

The William J. Dowdy Foundation is a 501 C (3) tax exempt non profit organization established in 2006. Our mission is to provide children in the greater Newark, NJ area with increased opportunities for exposure to the Arts, Culture, Science and Athletics. In addition, we look to empower our youth by providing scholarship benefits to assist in laying a strong foundation for their future.

In line with our vision of promoting literacy within the community, we recently gave away gifts to students in the city of Orange who have combined to read over a million pages of literature. . .Congratulations!
