About us
Who we are
At the George & Enid Brooks Foundation, we are a family-founded 501(c)3 organization driven by the legacy of the late Rev. George and Mrs. Enid Brooks. Our dedicated team is committed to empowering youth, both locally and in Jamaica, through educational support and opportunities. With a passion for making a difference, we strive to uplift individuals and communities, fostering a brighter future for generations to come.
OUR STORY
The George & Enid Brooks Foundation was formed following the Biblical principle of serving the poor. As the Brooks Family has been blessed, it is our responsibility and our privilege to share with others and to help lift up those who do not have educational, financial, spiritual or social resources. We also value empowerment, and endeavor to help people to help themselves, to use and develop their own resources. Finally, we value justice and will not discriminate due to racial or cultural background. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization; therefore, your donations to this charitable organization are tax-deductible.
Our Mission
The mission of the George and Enid Brooks Foundation is to honor the vision of Bishop George and Enid Brooks, who believed in the intrinsic value of education and the ability of every child to achieve his/her God-ordained potential. We change lives through education, by providing scholarships to college-bound students in Paterson, NJ, and support for elementary school students in the island nation of Jamaica.
What we do
At the George & Enid Brooks Foundation, we are committed to empowering young people to reach their full potential. Through our 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we provide support and resources to students locally and in Jamaica, enabling them to pursue education and achieve their personal goals. Our mission is to make a positive impact by facilitating access to education and empowering individuals to build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
