OUR OWN is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded on the belief that complex challenges demand multifaceted solutions. Our mission is to dismantle systemic barriers across mental health & wellness, STEAM education, entrepreneurship, physical fitness, and spatial equity. We strive to foster access and bridge existing gaps in these critical areas, promoting inclusivity and opportunity for our communities.

Yes, we do accept in-kind donations. Donors may want to contribute financial assets, real estate, clothing and artwork to help our not-for-profit organization further its mission. If this is you, please contact us at empower@ourown.com

As a donor, you have the opportunity to choose where your donation goes specifically, otherwise it will be allocated to our overall mission.
