Everyone worldwide is welcome to register and attend our online workshops. We have workshops designed for all members of the community. You are encouraged to invite your family, friends, and neighbors to attend with you. Please ensure each participant registers separately. 

Our in-person workshops are for teenagers, young adults, and their parents. We partner with organizations to determine participation. Please note that individuals under 18 must obtain approval from a parent or guardian.

Nothing. We are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity. All workshops by the Sherrod Foundation Inc are free to the public.

The Sherrod Foundation Inc. works hard to keep our overhead costs very low. We are a 100% non-paid charity. None of our officers, staff, or volunteers are paid, so your donation directly supports the implementation of our programs. 

We do not have offices or expensive equipment to pay for monthly.

We are doing in-person workshops across Metro Atlanta, GA. This includes Clayton and Henry counties. 

Our online workshops are open to anyone in the world.

Most workshops start at 9:30 am and last for 1.5 hours. A couple of workshops will last 2 hours.

The Helping Teenagers Succeed workshops could start in the morning or afternoon, depending on school preferences. The specifics will be communicated by the partnering school.

Yes. The Community Education Series is done online or in-person. We also conduct "Preventing Financial Scams & Identity Theft" and "The Dangers of Vaping" online. 

We offer 16 online workshops to allow young adults and parents the opportunity to attend. If a workshop is scheduled for online delivery, the Events page will list the location as online instead of an address.

Once you register for an online workshop, you will get an email with the details and the webinar link. The link will only be available if you register.

The Elite Donor Club is designed to recognize those donating a higher amount to help fund our programs. We certainly appreciate all our donors and are honored to receive any amount. 

There are no tangible returns for being in the Elite Donor Club, as the IRS does not allow donations for gifts or personal gain. We will recognize our Elite Donors, with their permission, on our website, and at celebration events.

We are serious about personal privacy. We never sell or share your email address with third parties, except in cases where it is necessary for our business operations. For example, we enter your email address in our email program to send you the quarterly magazine, blog posts, or share updates on the Sherrod Foundation Inc. We utilize third-party services, such as Microsoft or Mailchimp, to do our email or marketing campaigns.

We never buy an email list and use opt-in forms on our website to obtain your permission before communicating with you by email. You certainly can opt out at any time.

We do plan to host an annual celebration and fundraiser starting in 2026. This will be a black-tie event in celebration of our seniors who are 50 years old and above. Those seniors may attend for free. 

All are welcome to purchase tickets for this holiday fun event to be held in September.

We have three main fundraising campaigns. First, our '100 for 100' is an all-year campaign where we desire to get 100 people donating $100. Given the critical work we do in promoting health improvement and financial literacy, we hope you will consider being an Elite Donor and donate today. You may donate on our webpage at www.sherrodfoundation.org/donations. 

Second, our company sponsor campaign desires to get 3 companies to support our mission with a financial donation.

Third, we utilize GoFundMe to request donations in support of two main strategic outcomes, which are preventing type 2 diabetes and financial literacy.

Lastly, we hope to have lots of fun celebrating at our annual black-tie gala and fundraiser. We will post the schedule on our website, so you may purchase your ticket and join us.
