This community engagement program assists members of the community build a collective identity in-order to become agents of change within their peer groups. Which will assist in communicating mental health within the community. Raising awareness of the underlying issue of being mentally scarred by trauma and educating the community on the signs and symptoms of critical incident stress and how to mitigate its affects.

The SCARd Foundation, Inc. aims to provide disaster relief aid in the form of food, water, and other logistical needs to the severely disadvantaged who are affected by either a lack of existing community resources or a lack of funding and supplies to existing local infrastructures in a time of need. The SCARd Foundation, Inc. operates and focuses its resources locally and globally to communities who meet the aforementioned criteria regardless of their geographical location.

Examples of the severely disadvantaged populations would be worldwide poverty and those affected by natural disasters, such as the devastating results of Hurricane Michael in the state of Florida, Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas, and the Philippine provinces that suffer severe poverty. It is estimated that there are almost 385 million children living in extreme poverty around the world.

We provide disaster relief aid through organizing volunteers to serve in affected areas by coordinating and carrying out the distribution of food and water.

We do not fundraise for any specific organization and The SCARd Foundation, Inc. is not organized solely to contribute or fundraise for any specific entity. However, at the discretion of the board of directors we may at times, choose to contribute to other organizations who share a similar mission and only if the contributions further our exempt status, with the objective to eliminate and alleviate those affected by emotional trauma to protect their Mental Health.

One example of an organization which we may contribute to is the “Miami Fire Fighters Benevolent Association, Inc.” which is a U.S.-based, nonprofit 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization that focuses on raising awareness on Post Traumatic Stress with its military veterans, as well as Critical Incident Stress with its first responders, which shares a similar mission to The SCARd Foundation, Inc. exempt purpose.

At times, we may provide internships or volunteer opportunities which will provide opportunities for involvement in outreach activities and programs in order to have a greater impact for change. One of the activities that volunteers may be involved in is during disasters to assist in the distribution of logistical items to those impacted by such disaster, and/or during poverty distribution of food, water, and essentials.
