About the Foundation

Transforming Lives
Since 2008

The Skughofey Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Skughofey Quincy Earl and his late mother, Cylinda Johnson. Since 2008, we have served at-risk youth, young adults, families, and homeless individuals through community resources, mentorship, education, creative arts, disaster relief, and outreach programs.

We have proudly collaborated with other nonprofit organizations and churches to provide community resources and events for underprivileged families in communities since 2013. Our principles of Respect, Leadership, Responsibility, and Discipline guide everything we do.
