How about a place where even your small donation can make a HUGE impact?

What's not to love about a second chance?

That's what we're about at Just One More Foundation.

With your help we're able to help some hard working folks with a strong plan to overcome obstacles.

Sometimes, you just need that final push to get across the finish line to achieve your goal.

The best part? We look for folks who are intent on achieving so that they can go on and help others, as well.

He died.

It's the story that started it all.

Absolutely wild!

The even crazier thing is the way Richard Rogers died and came back to life isn't even the most inspiring part of this story.

Hear him tell the whole thing on the Call Me Friend podcast. And even better--hear Richard deliver news that is about to change a man's life!

Exciting times!
July means applications are open for our next round of grants!
This cycle we are focusing on grants for selected individual recipients.
Do you know someone who has faced obstacles and can use some assistance with a second chance.
We are particularly interested in individuals who already have a history of hard work, have made progress in their goals and just need help for that final boost to reach their goals.
We look for folks who are looking to succeed so that they, too, can go onto help others.
And we give preference for educational opportunities: tuition, training programs, etc.

Applications will be open through September 30, 2025 and grants awarded in November.

Just One More Foundation has opened applications for our next round of grants! We have awards for both individuals and non-profits with a solid plan to combine hard work & goals to overcome obstacles.

Here is some crazy talk.
How about a politician everyone in America can love.
Maybe because Alfred Dixon is a most unlikely city councilman.
He's doing it for all the right reasons: he's making his community better. He saw something that didn't make sense so he ran for city council.
Oh yeah, while he was working at the local QuikTrip.
Oh yeah, he failed miserably.
Oh yeah, he'll tell you community service saved his life.
Oh yeah, he faced homelessness and it took him almost 20 years to get his undergraduate degree.
Oh yeah, he came to Just One More Foundation looking for help.
Oh, baby! Did we ever surprise him!
On a day when it's just about impossible to feel good about politics, we share this story. We promise it will make your day.

Alfred Dixon was homeless. He took almost 20 years to complete his college degree. Hear how he overcame his obstacles. See him fall off his chair when he hears news from Just One More Foundation.
