The MTW Foundation

Building. Global. Leaders.

The vision of the MTW Foundation is to build global leaders through literacy, entrepreneurship, and technology programming to the youth in underserved communities across the world.

 


ABOUT US

At The Michelle Taylor Willis Foundation, we believe access to knowledge is the foundation of opportunity, and the application of that knowledge opens up opportunities.

Founded in Georgia, our nonprofit organization exists to bridge educational and economic gaps by investing in literacy, entrepreneurship, and technology. We serve communities that are often overlooked or under-resourced—but rich in potential.

Our Mission

To empower individuals and communities by increasing access to literacy (french, reading, and financial), entrepreneurship, and technology—equipping people with the tools they need to learn, lead, and launch their futures.

What We Focus On:

  • Literacy in All Forms
    From teaching French as a global gateway language, to strengthening reading comprehension and promoting financial confidence—we believe literacy comes in many forms, and all of them are powerful.

  • Entrepreneurship
    We support creative thinkers and go-getters by offering small business training, mentorship, and resources to help turn ideas into income.

  • Technology Access
    In a digital world, access isn’t optional. We bridge the digital divide by providing internet access, devices, and training in coding, digital literacy, and job readiness.

Why We Exist

Too many people are shut out of the economy—not because they lack talent, but because they lack access. We’re here to change that, one learner, leader, and laptop at a time.

Join us in building a smarter, stronger, more connected future.
