OUR MISSION

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to implement a wide array of quality community economic development programs, services, and activities to serve low-income communities and improve at-risk youth's health and life opportunities using a comprehensive approach to develop their capabilities.

HISTORY

The DP3 Community Foundation, INC, was founded in 2019, by Julian R. Portis, in memory of his late brother, Dr. Dennis L. Portis III; and, to further his legacy through academic, musical, and athletic programming for dis-invested communities of color. Furthermore, it is the foundation’s sincerest passion to serve the community through mentoring youth and empowering families.

WHO ARE WE

The DP3 Community Foundation, INC, is a voluntary group ​of passionate individuals determined to make a difference through service. A community of focused leaders committed to giving back. ​

WHAT WE DO

The DP3 Community Foundation, INC, offers programming to help young people graduate from high school, attend college, and succeed in life with purpose. We implement high-quality support services to influence youth positively, help achieve their full potential, and become independent and productive citizens of society. Early intervention and skill-building make all the difference.

We are passionate about ensuring access to resources for families, youth, and individuals who are a part of disinvested communities of color. Oklahoma City, much like any metropolitan city, has several neighborhoods that are considered chronic crime corridors of deep-rooted, violent crime. One solution to combat these issues is to invest resources and quality programming toward addressing the social drivers of crime.

Through our transformative leadership, we empower families to re-write systemic narratives for the generations coming behind them.
