About The Foundation

Founded by Air Force Veteran and Howard University MBA student Fredrick Watson, The Fredrick Watson Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to turning adversity into agency. Our mission is simple:

Motivate, Educate, and Elevate.

From providing scholarships in Liberia to advocating for criminal justice reform in the U.S., we work to bridge the gap between systemic struggle and individual success. We don’t just offer aid; we build pathways. By partnering with like-minded organizations, we amplify the stories of those who have overcome life’s toughest challenges, ensuring they are seen, supported, and celebrated.

Our Vision

To create a world where a person’s past does not dictate their future, and where every "overcomer" has the resources to thrive.
