Tineka C. Foundation
The Tineka C. Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth and creating access to opportunity through fashion, media, and education.
But this work goes beyond workshops...
We are building confidence.
We are creating exposure.
We are opening doors that many families don't even know exist.
Through community events, educational programming, and industry-based experiences, we provide young talent and their families with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to navigate the entertainment and fashion industries with confidence and purpose.
From fashion shows and school initiatives to awareness campaigns and community partnerships, our mission is to ensure that every child we touch leaves more prepared, more empowered, and more seen.
Every donation and every dollar earned through our programs goes directly back into supporting these initiatives - expanding access, increasing opportunity, and impacting more families.
This is more than a foundation.
This is a movement.
TCF is committed to increasing access to professional training and a limited number of sponsored seats are available through community and corporate support. These opportunities are intended to support families who demonstrate financial need and a strong commitment to participation. Interested in sponsoring a student or learning more about sponsored seats?
Support. Partner. Be a part of the impact.
