Our Mission

The Great Pardon Foundation is dedicated to giving back, uplifting individuals and families, and strengthening our communities through compassion, service, and meaningful support. We strive to provide resources, assistance, and opportunities to those in need while inspiring hope, restoring dignity, and creating a lasting positive impact one person, one family, one community at a time. 

Our History

Founded in October 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama, the Great Pardon Foundation was created by Derrick Young with a simple purpose: to give back, help others, and make a positive difference in the community. 

What began in Birmingham grew into a larger vision. As the Foundation's journey continued, Great Pardon Foundation established its roots in Mississippi, expanding its commitment to serving individuals, families, and communities in need.

Today, GPF remains committed to its original purpose - serving others, giving back, creating opportunities, and bringing hope to the communities we call home. 

From Alabama to Mississippi, the mission continues.
