Boys2men Girls2women Foundation

What Boys2men Girls2women Foundation does

Boys2men Girls2women Foundation is a 501(c)-style non-profit community organization founded in 2000 by J. David Perry, headquartered in Fresno, California, with additional offices in Sacramento and Torrance. It serves at-risk children ages 5-18 (primarily from single-parent homes in Fresno County) and disabled adults ages 18-59, delivering a portfolio of free and low-cost programs: an After School Tutoring Academy (K-9, $25/semester enrollment fee, otherwise free), one-to-one Mentoring with volunteer "Uncle/Aunt" pairs, a six-week Summer Learning Enrichment Day Camp, a Literacy Program supported by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, and a Disabled Adults Social Recreation Program in partnership with EmpowerAbility & H.O.P.E. The foundation is launching a Fall 2026 No-Cost Online Tutoring Program to extend remote tutoring access.

The underlying technology is intentionally minimal: no proprietary platform, no software product, and no APIs. Program delivery relies on in-person sessions supplemented by standard tools (laptops, whiteboards, Google Suite, Microsoft Office), with a new online tutoring channel using college-intern-supplied laptops and student-provided internet modems. The organization has 13 employees and a formalized volunteer pipeline through Fresno State University and Fresno City College via the Federal Work Study program.

Revenue is non-commercial, sourced from individual donations (Tithe.ly, PayPal, 300 Kids Club monthly sponsorships at $25/month), corporate event sponsorships with tiered pricing (Bowl-A-Thon: $5,000/$2,500/$1,000 corporate tiers, $350 team, $250 lane, $100 fan), the Cars2Kids vehicle donation program, the $25 tutoring enrollment fee, and grants. End beneficiaries do not pay; program costs are stated at $2,500 per child per year. The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven — referrals flow through schools, social workers, families, faith-based networks, and corporate partners like Vallarta Supermarket, with awareness generated via social media, community events, and endorsements from public officials.
