What Reach Foundation does

Reach Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 47-1945741) founded in 2014 by Cierra Carter and Chaz Robinson, headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland with a secondary office in Los Angeles, California. The organization delivers community-based programs targeting under-resourced populations, including an Annual Toy Drive, a 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament, a Back-to-School Backpack Drive, Homeless Giveaways, and Health and Fitness Programs with a mental health support component. Operations are supported by a small team of 1-10 employees, with no disclosed technology platform, proprietary software, or digital infrastructure beyond standard consumer payment and wish-list services.

The foundation's business model is donation-driven rather than revenue-generating. Funding is sourced from individual donors contributing through PayPal, CashApp, and an Amazon Wish List, with no evidence of corporate sponsorship, institutional grants, or fee-for-service revenue. Program delivery appears event- and giveaway-centric, emphasizing recurring seasonal activities and direct material support rather than ongoing service contracts. The dual-city footprint across Baltimore and Los Angeles indicates an intent to serve geographically dispersed communities, though the relative scale of operations between the two markets is not disclosed.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Salvation Army: National nonprofit providing social services including youth programs, holiday toy drives, and support for unhoused populations. Directly comparable because it operates Toy Drives and Homeless services — exactly the two program types Reach Foundation runs.
• Goodwill Industries International: Large nonprofit supporting disadvantaged populations through workforce development, community programs, and donated-goods distribution. Comparable community-services model and dual focus on youth and family welfare, though at vastly greater operational scale.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of America: National youth development organization delivering after-school programs, sports, and education support to at-risk youth. Comparable because Reach Foundation serves a similar demographic (children ages 7-15) with comparable programmatic pillars (sports, leadership, school support) but at vastly greater scale.
• YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles: Long-standing community organization delivering youth sports, fitness, and wellness programs including basketball, swimming, and after-school activities. Directly comparable in offering youth sports and fitness alongside community outreach, though at much larger scale and broader programming breadth.

Direct peers

• Points of Light Foundation: Nonprofit focused on volunteer mobilization and community service, often supporting youth-led and family-led change in local communities. Comparable as a community-driven nonprofit using direct service and events to drive local impact.
• KIPP Foundation: Nonprofit network of public charter schools serving underserved K-12 students with a focus on college readiness. Comparable as an education-focused nonprofit targeting disadvantaged K-12 youth, though it operates schools directly whereas Reach Foundation supports students via backpack distributions and programming.
• Big Brothers Big Sisters of America: Youth-mentoring nonprofit supporting children in disadvantaged communities through structured programs that build confidence, leadership, and resilience. Highly comparable to Reach Foundation's mission of rebuilding and empowering the next generation of leaders through community-based programs.
• City Year USA: Nonprofit deploying young adults as mentors and tutors in schools to support student attendance, behavior, and academic performance in underserved communities. Comparable as a community-based nonprofit focused on K-12 student success and youth development in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
