The Robert Griffin III Foundation is an initiative that truly comes from my heart, and with the help of our members I’m excited about the difference we can make in people’s lives. With this foundation, I want people to understand that their dreams aren’t out of reach, and that anything is possible.
The Robert Griffin III Foundation is a non-profit foundation that strives to discover, design, and support programs that benefit families that are experiencing food insecurity, improve youth fitness and nutrition, and support and empower America’s youth.
The Robert Griffin III Foundation believes that every family has a right to food security and healthy lifestyles. Through our work with outside organizations and non-profits, the Foundation seeks to end food insecurity in America and improve the health of America’s youth.
Robert Griffin III (RG3) has always felt a calling to make a long-lasting, positive impact on the world. Like every NFL player, RG3 knew being an NFL Rookie of the Year award winner and Pro Bowl Quarterback was temporary, and he knew that he could leverage his platform for positive change in the world. After discussions with close mentors and family, RG3 chose to form the Robert Griffin III Foundation as a vehicle for that change.
Growing up in a military household forged the foundational principles of Robert’s life, principles of hard work, caring for your community, and service to others. Those principles laid the foundation from which Robert learned to excel, principles that were built upon by his time at Baylor University. As a dedicated student and All-American Heisman winning athlete, RG3 took on multiple leadership roles that helped him develop the skills to be successful in all facets of life. RG3 served on and off the field, including as a captain of the football team, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, President’s Athletic Advisory Board, and the Athletic Department’s Community Involvement Board.
As his professional playing career developed, RG3 took those skills in management and leadership into work with major corporations like Adidas, PepsiCo, Nissan, and USAA. Helping these companies with team building, product development, and customer engagement. Furthermore, he has worked as an advocate for these corporations in their pursuit of finding solutions to a range of issues. RG3’s passion for the community is reflected in the work of his foundation. With a focus on providing struggling families with food security and helping young people make better choices on fitness and nutrition, RG3 is looking to make meaningful change in the community. RG3 believes that changing the world for the better starts with helping young people and their families.
RG3’s passion for inspiring the next generation of leaders and looking towards the future has led to him being involved with numerous youth mentorship programs in the Central Texas, Central Florida, and Washington DC areas.
