You did
the work.
We remove the wall.
The Howze Foundation invests in people who have the ability, the drive, and the hunger — but not the resources. We remove the barriers that have nothing to do with capability and everything to do with circumstance.
Blessed to be a blessing.
The Howze Foundation was established on a conviction that has guided one family across four generations: that everything given to you is not meant only for you. That the work done faithfully today — the door opened, the barrier removed, the investment made in someone you may never meet — produces a future worth building toward.
We work in three areas: removing educational barriers for students who have earned their credentials but cannot access them, supporting families navigating life with special needs, and investing in the next generation of leaders through mentorship and professional development.
The Foundation's resources come entirely from the proceeds of Care Enough to Disrupt — a book about leadership, legacy, and the long view — and from the generosity of donors who share this conviction. Every dollar goes directly to the work.
There is a student who passed every course, completed every requirement, and earned their degree. They cannot graduate because they owe the school a few hundred dollars. Their transcript is frozen. The job offer is waiting. The clock is running.
That is not a financial problem. That is a barrier — one that has nothing to do with capability and everything to do with circumstance. The Howze Foundation removes it.
This is what we mean by investing in promise and potential rather than pedigree and prestige. The work is that specific. The impact is that immediate.
"The most powerful investment you can make is in a future you will not live to see — but that will be real because you chose to build toward it anyway."
The long view is the only view that matters.
Our work is grounded in a set of convictions that predate the Foundation and will outlast it. These are not aspirations. They are the operating assumptions behind every decision we make.
Every sale funds the mission.
Care Enough to Disrupt is a leadership memoir and practical guide for the leader who has earned a seat at the table and is deciding what to do with it. It is drawn from four decades inside some of the world’s largest organizations and written for the disciplined, faith-grounded leader who cares enough about their people and their legacy to do the hard work of change from the inside.
