Welcome!
The Richards & Coleman Family Foundation, Inc. (RCFF) was founded in 2006 by members of the Richards & Coleman Family Association (RCFA), to assist those in need. In August 2009, the Foundation was approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Prior to forming the Foundation, the Richards & Coleman Family Association established a Trust Fund, setting aside 20% of its proceeds for future charitable work.
In 2007 the Family Association created the James D. Cassell Jr. Educational Fund in memory of the Association’s sitting Chairman, who passed away in May 2005. The family wanted to honor James because of his tireless dedication to helping organizations and people from all walks of society. The Educational Fund is open to any individual in need of assistance to pursue a higher education in the United States of America and the Republic of Liberia.
The Fund is intended to provide scholarships to individuals who meets the requirements as approved by the Foundation. It will also provide assistance to government-established educational institutions, making improvements to help better educate their students.
The Constitution of the Richards & Coleman Family Foundation provides for the election of a nine-member Board of Directors, of which four are non-family members. Administrative Officers of the Foundation are also elected.
Officers of the RCFF have begun to organize fundraising events, and are seeking corporate sponsors. All information on the Foundation’s fundraising efforts and educational programs will be posted to this website on the Foundation’s news page.
