What is FFF?
Our Mission
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to empower underprivileged communities through mentoring, community based and trauma informed programming. Create events geared toward education, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and mental health.
PLAN OF ACTION
Our plan is to create programming that will build confidence, social, and economical skills. Our focus is financial empowerment, mental health and entrepreneurship. We provide mentoring to children with behavioral, financial, economic and social disadvantages. Create affordable programs, events, and camps for parents who may not be able to otherwise afford the necessary assistance in the community due to whatever reason. We are hoping to work together with the local agencies on creating a central location where the youth can come interact with one another and have a safe family atmosphere to learn skills and trades that will mold them into successful young men and women and hopefully increase the employment and graduation rate while decreasing the incarceration, crime, and death rate of the young black male and female.

Our Team
Tim Anderson Jr.
CEO
Timothy R Anderson Jr. is a father of 7 Born and raised in the inner city of Akron OH. West Akron to be specific. Tim attended Margaret Park Elementary, Innes Middle School, Central - Hower High School where he played Basketball, ran Track, and was an All State Football player. After graduating, he attended Hiram College on an academic scholarship and also was an All Conference football player. But what this story doesn't tell you is he was also raised in a single parent home, with a drug addicted parent and was kicked out of the house at the premature age of 16. Tim then turned to dealing drugs and stealing as a means to survival. During his life in the streets Tim was once shot, twice robbed at gun point and also incarcerated for 2yrs for a gun related crime. So with his own dealings with the causes and effects of the street life, relating to the obstacles this generation faces isn't an issue at all! Tim now strives to use his connection to a world many choose to ignore and talk down on, to build a brighter future for those children and parents from the same background by creating programs and events that will allow them to be children but also prepare them for the worlds reality..
