Who We Are

One Person's Mission,
Countless Lives Changed

The Jarren Duran Foundation was born from a personal conviction: that no one should face mental illness, homelessness, cancer, or a lack of education without a community standing beside them.

Founded by Jarren Duran in 1995, this foundation is built on direct, compassionate action — reaching individuals where they are, without judgment, and walking alongside them toward healing, stability, and opportunity.

"I was living on the streets for two years. The Jarren Duran Foundation didn't just give me a bed — they gave me a plan, a support group, and a job. I now have my own apartment. This foundation saved my life."

"After my Stage 3 diagnosis I didn't know how I'd afford treatment. The foundation covered three months of medication and connected me to a support group. I'm in remission now — I truly believe their help made a difference."

"I donate monthly because I've seen firsthand what this foundation does for kids who can't afford school supplies. My niece was one of them — she just got a full scholarship to college. That starts here."
