What We Do

The Gatsby Showcase Foundation is an impact driven and capacity-building not-for-profit organization committed to breaking down systemic barriers that currently block equitable access to education, business capital and assistance. We envision building a brighter future for historically disadvantaged groups through education grants, business expansion funding, financial literacy training, and mentorship.

Our Why

Education is a passion of mine. Having come from a background where kids have to pay for high school in Cameroon, West Africa, and seeing so many kids not able to afford a high school education, I have always had a passion to help the underprivileged.
 
As a recipient of a scholarship from an alumni of my high school that changed my life, I understand the impact that a small act of kindness can do in the life of a young boy or girl. This is why “The Gatsby Showcase” seeks to promote education by providing scholarships and other forms of assistance to underprivileged kids. We want to sow a seed of hope and help these future leaders build a strong foundation through educational opportunity.
 
Together we can help our youth beat the odds and experience the success they have worked so hard to obtain. Our sponsors assist in evening the playing field and making a big difference all while increasing brand visibility via digital media, public relations, and by reaching the guests of this exquisite fashion experience.
