Trilogy Trust Foundation
The Trilogy Trust Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. Krissy Jones, an entrepreneur after she faced an unexpected loss of income, putting her family at risk of homelessness. This challenging period aspired her to create the foundation to give assistance to others facing similar circumstances.
Their primary mission is to prevent homelessness and support those in dire straits over the Los Angeles county. Their typical client would be a family living in Los Angeles who either needs emergency assistance to prevent homelessness, or a grant to start a business or employment. They also give out grants to people needing help with education that would lead to sustainable work as well as mentoring and other donations, for example food, toys, school supplies and clothing. This is achieved through a self-sustaining model of giving, where they harness family funds from entrepreneurial endeavors and generous donations, investing them wisely to generate income for their charitable endeavors.
The types of help and support they provide includes specialized services over Thanksgiving and Christmas. During Thanksgiving, the foundation distributes food boxes, ensuring that families can get a Turkey dinner. In addition, cash donations are often provided to help alleviate immediate financial burdens. For Christmas, the foundation donates presents for the families and their children. They purchase gifts from individual wish lists, wrap and deliver them to the recipients', often along with a box of Christmas food and additional cash donations to help families through the festive season.
The Trilogy Trust Foundation also offers grants to aspiring entrepreneurs or individuals seeking to start a side business that would lead to preventing homelessness. In addition to financial assistance, Dr. Krissy Jones, an entrepreneur herself offers mentorship to help them navigate the difficult world of starting a business.
