The Fledge Foundation

Mission: To provide our community with positive experiences and opportunities for a life free from harm.

We are the non-profit arm of The Fledge in Lansing.

In 2018, the non-profit half of The Fledge was founded because we saw that many of the people who engaged with us were living in poverty, and below the ALICE threshold. We offer free food, clothing and harm reduction supplies, along with needs met for self actualization through learning new skills and working through the entrepreneurial process.

The Fledge Foundation seeks to help lift people out of poverty while providing opportunities for liberty and justice through diverse experiences.

We have free programming for youth and adults and create opportunities for growth and development, creative expression, networking, and safe fun. After the covid outbreak, we increased our capacity to help by forming partnerships with other organizations (such as The Village and Punks with Lunch in Lansing), and seeking grant funding from local and state organizations.
