Help Us Make a Difference Today and Build a Brighter Tomorrow

About Us

The Mayo Family Foundation was founded by the Mayo Family (Simer and Vicki) in 2019 as a format for the family to support causes that make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need a helping hand. Since inception, the Mayo Family Foundation has distributed over half a million dollars to support various causes. The foundation focuses its efforts on both domestic and international causes.

pillars of focus

Food Insecurities

We envision a world where concerns about the next meal, a safe place to sleep, or access to healthcare become a thing of the past. Our goal is to provide long-term solutions that will build stronger, more resilient individuals and communities.

At-Risk Youth

A child at risk is less likely to transition to adulthood successfully. Our mission is to equip our youth with the tools needed for academic achievement and job readiness. These tools are key to securing a future marked by financial stability and high hopes of becoming a positive member of society.

Women’s Equality Issues

We strive for a society where women have equal access to opportunities and resources, enabling them to thrive both personally and professionally. Our goal is to support initiatives that break down barriers to gender equality, ensuring women can participate fully in all aspects of life. By partnering with organizations dedicated to women's empowerment, we aim to provide essential support services, advocate for women's rights, and create pathways to education, employment, and leadership roles, fostering a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

Our commitment to addressing food insecurity, supporting at-risk youth, and promoting women’s equality opens up numerous opportunities to collaborate with organizations dedicated to these causes. We work to alleviate hunger and improve access to nutritious meals, partner with groups that offer resources and opportunities to positively impact the lives of at-risk youth, and support women’s equality by joining forces with organizations that provide essential resources and assistance.
