The mission of the Williams-Franklin Foundation (WFF) is to provide academic scholarships, business/career networking, and mentoring opportunities to HBCU students with extreme financial need. The WFF was born out of true love and personal affiliation with Historically, Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Co-founders, Dwight, and LaShelle (Williams) Franklin were both raised to know the importance of “being of service to others”. However, this concept was crystallized in the educational and service-driven community at Howard University (HU), their alma mater. Since HU, the Franklins have integrated what they’ve learned through volunteer work and supporting many charitable organizations.
