OUR MISSION

Dallas Mavericks star Shawn Marion established The Shawn Marion Foundation at The Giving Back Fund to provide life-changing opportunities and experiences to single parent families.

STRATEGY

Our initial focus is on providing college scholarships to single parents and in doing so, helping to break the cycle of low paying jobs and limited opportunities.  We will also be accepting grant application from community-based nonprofit organizations in the Chicago area who are working to improve the lives of single parent families.

GRANT & SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES

The Shawn Marion Foundation is currently in the process of creating scholarship and grant guidelines and is not yet accepting applications.

We will distribute our first scholarships to applicants attending University of Nevada Las Vegas and our first grants in the Chicago area. Our long-term plans are to make these national programs.
