The T.J. Carter Foundation was founded by Travis and Joirdan Carter in Canton, Ohio, to help families live with dignity, stability, and hope. What began as a simple idea—to fill the gaps we saw every day through our work with individuals with developmental disabilities—has grown into a community movement. We believe that no one should have to choose between paying bills and putting healthy food on the table. Through our programs, we aim to remove barriers, restore dignity, and strengthen families and neighborhoods. Mission: To build stronger communities by promoting housing stability, food security, workforce development, and inclusion for all.
