Mission

As one of history’s most noted Abolitionists, Frederick Douglass dedicated himself to the cause of freedom and that of equality for every man and woman. The Frederick Douglass Family Foundation will continue the work of its prominent namesake by raising awareness of the enduring crisis of modern-day slavery wherever it may exist. Funds that are raised through grants, donations, appearance fees and the sale of merchandise will go to support organizations that are working to stop modern-day slavery and those assisting its victims.
