About the lilly foundation
What do we do?
Welcome to The Lilly Foundation, where we provide a safe and nurturing environment for girls who are aging out of foster care and impacted by the justice system to learn, grow, and thrive. Since our establishment, we have been dedicated to supporting the mental and personal development of older youth girls in every community we can reach.
At The Lilly Foundation, we offer a wide range of educational programs and mental health counseling, trauma recovery, and life skills to decrease re-entry into the justice system, and prevent homelessness and violence in your community. Our experienced staff members are committed to creating a welcoming space where every child feels valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
We believe that by working together, we can create a brighter future for our youth. Join us at The Lilly Foundation and be a part of our mission to inspire and empower the leaders of tomorrow.

How we started
Grandma’s table! The Lilly Foundation is named after the founder’s (Natasha Clark) grandmother Lillian Wiseman. Growing up a troubled youth herself, Natasha was provided another way out at Grandma’s tables. Where she was empowered to be better than she was. Protected against all who would try to harm her. Developed to be an entrepreneur by being alongside of the building of businesses. Grandma provided another way out of her troubled life. And so, The Lilly Foundation was born. Through dedication and hard work, this nonprofit center will quickly became a beacon of hope for the community.
