The Lampkin Foundation is governed by a volunteer group of board of directors chaired by Jesus Andrade III. The Lampkin Foundation was established to create positive opportunities and change for individuals, communities, and environments. Our goal is to sponsor and create programs and initiatives that lead to the development of stronger communities and positively impact individuals wanting to lead happier and healthier lives. Here is just a sample of programs and initiatives we have developed to benefit your community: Breath Giving Portraits Project Since 2012, the Breath Giving Portraits Project, in cooperation with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, has brought awareness to the hardships of children restricted by symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis. Developing Neighborhood Agriculture (DNA) Initiative The mission is to support community-based health programs for the indigent and to share lessons and build solidarity through global partnerships. DNA provides support to community farms by providing support for local agriculture projects in communities identified as lacking fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful whole foods. We are transforming how families gain access to affordable nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables in urban communities.
