About Gennell Foundation

Building Bridges, Changing Lives

We are a private, non-profit organization that believes that a strong, supported family is the heart of every thriving community.

Latrice Grant, our founder and President, understands the real challenges families face, gained firsthand through years of working with children and teens in group homes. Her experience fuels our mission and drives our full-circle approach: supporting not just youth, but also the parents and caregivers who shape their futures.

We’re here to empower people with the skills, resources, and support they need to grow and thrive. Whether it’s helping parents feel confident, giving young people opportunities to dream big, or partnering with local organizations, we are committed to creating lasting, meaningful change, for families and the communities they call home.
