The Otis Redding Foundation

The Otis Redding Foundation Otis Redding was dedicated to improving the quality of life for our community through the education and empowerment of its youth.

To honor Otis' dream, The Otis Redding Foundation provides opportunities for youth to improve their academic performances by helping them make choices in life that enrich rather than endanger. By providing programs that ignite dreams in our future generation of leaders, we remain dedicated to connecting the universal relevance of music to serve as a catalyst for education, health, fitness, and other youth oriented initiatives.
