About Wisdom Foundation

The Founder

Wisdom Foundation founder, Marvin Wilson, earned honors for his service during Desert Storm in 1991. Mr. Wilson later secured a secretarial position at the Pentagon in 1992, then later extended his service in the U.S. Navy for an additional two years. Post-military, he embraced a role at the U.S. Veterans Hospital in Salisbury, North Carolina.

Marvin's commitment goes beyond his professional roles. He volunteered as a Desert Storm spokesperson at Veterans Day Parades and Chaplain Services, driven by his passion for travel and volunteerism. His dedication even extends to educating young minds on the importance of leadership and volunteerism in their personal growth.

Current Activities

Wisdom Foundation is currently hosting seminars for inner-city youth with an emphasis on positive lifestyles, gang prevention, community service, leadership and higher education. We are also recruiting and training positive resilient professionals to mentor in schools, community centers and juvenile detention centers. We are involved in board training and grant writing classes.

Our Future

We plan to provide diversity education, creative thinking skills, community service opportunities, leadership training, gang prevention and drop-out prevention. We will have a cadre of one-on-one mentors for fatherless young men and juveniles. We will host on-going seminars, online webinars, and fundraisers to assist our youth. Our long range plan is to provide summer training camp for young males at risk in our city.

The Wisdom Foundation Community Cookout

We hope to motivate them and give them hope for a better tomorrow. We understand that it takes more than this, but there must be a start!

Wisdom Foundation Community Cookout

The Wisdom Foundation Community Cookout was started by a local family, two years ago, to serve the homeless brothers and sisters in Charlotte. Homelessness is growing in the USA at increasing rates and here in Charlotte multiplying over the years. The Wisdom Foundation Cookout is providing a nutritious hot meal for the for those that are having a hard time. Our desire is to encourage them, pray for them, while taking care of some basic needs for food and clothing.

We hope to motivate them and give them hope for a better tomorrow. We understand that it takes more than this, but there must be a start! Join us in providing love, support and solutions to those in need. At our last event we fed and provided clothing for over 150 people. We had help from nearby hotels, friends and family to achieve this. This was a great achievement however many were not served. Help us increase the provisions, so we can meet the needs, for those desiring the help to change.
