Dr. Annise Mabry Foundation

The Dr. Annise Mabry Foundation® is a nonprofit Community Economic Development (CED) organization.

Our mission is to develop, test, evaluate, and disseminate innovative Educational Restoration solutions that help schools, nonprofits, government agencies, and community organizations improve outcomes for vulnerable learners.

The Dr. Annise Mabry Foundation envisions a future where every learner, regardless of circumstance, has access to educational pathways that restore opportunity, dignity, and hope. We strive to create communities rooted in justice where education empowers, law enforcement and citizens work in harmony, and every individual is equipped to thrive through trauma-informed support, workforce development, and inclusive innovation.

Drawing upon more than a decade of experience serving vulnerable learners, The Dr. Annise Mabry Foundation designs, tests, and evaluates innovative approaches to educational recovery, workforce readiness, justice-involved youth services, family engagement, and community-based learning.

Through research, pilot programs, practitioner training, and strategic partnerships, we help schools, nonprofits, government agencies, and community organizations implement evidence-informed solutions that improve outcomes at scale.

By transforming lessons learned in practice into transferable frameworks, tools, and strategies, the Foundation helps communities create sustainable pathways to opportunity, achievement, and long-term success.
