Todd Wagner founded the Todd Wagner Foundation in 2000 and is its principal contributor. The Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of at-risk children and building strong communities through education, technology, healthcare and enrichment opportunities.

From day one, the Foundation avoided expensive fundraisers and excess overhead expenses so that more dollars could be invested in high-impact programs. Employing a "start-up-to-merger" model more familiar to the business world than the non-profit sector, the Foundation:

• Creates and/or supports targeted programs that address service gaps within the community;
• Nurtures and builds those programs in order to refine concepts and encourage meaningful results; and
• Looks for opportunities to scale proven programs in order to reach more children, while ensuring that the programs continue their level of innovation and measurable success. This is accomplished through partnerships with complementary not-for-profit organizations whereby the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
