Who We Are
The Heart and Soul of Los Angeles
At The Manifest Destiny Foundation, we are more than just a non-profit organization; we are a movement, a promise, and a beacon of hope in the heart of Los Angeles. Founded by Fernie Andrade, a visionary tattoo artist from West Covina, our roots are deeply embedded in the local community. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to nurturing the potential of at-risk youth through the power of arts, education, and leadership.
Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders
Our mission is simple yet profound: to empower, educate, and inspire. We believe in the transformative power of community support and engagement. By organizing initiatives like the Sally Shoe Drive in El Monte and various educational programs, we provide essential resources and opportunities to those who need them most. Our approach is holistic – focusing on the immediate needs while fostering long-term growth and sustainability.
A Community United
The Manifest Destiny Foundation is a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together. We collaborate with local businesses, schools, and volunteers, creating a network of support that uplifts every member. Our programs are designed to not only provide immediate assistance but also to inspire a sense of hope, ambition, and resilience in the youth we serve.
