The Willie Green Foundation (WGF) is a non-for-profit organization founded by NBA star and Detroit, Michigan native, Willie Green. Our overall mission is to enrich as well as strengthen the academic, athletic, cultural, social, and career interests of the youth (and their families) who come from communities challenged by violence, economic underdevelopment, and chronic unemployment.

Although WGF is a relatively new foundation (established in 2006) the organization plans to meet its goals by raising money and awareness for programs that will identify and 'positively' exploit the often, overlooked human potential of those youth identified as "at-risk" and prepare them to be successful and progressive thinking leaders in the areas of business, government, politics, education, and entrepreneurship. We also plan to re-assess certain sectors of a community that are considered "lost" or "abandoned" with the intention of creating businesses and or jobs that will offer members of the community hope and opportunities for economic development.
