Welcome to
THE VON DAHNE
FOUNDATION
Hello and welcome to The Von Dahne Foundation … For Mental Health Wellness And Awareness. Our mission is to provide the full spectrum of mental health opportunities and services to under-served Black youth and their communities. Von excluded noone and neither will his foundation. The Von Dahne Foundation was brought to life by his tragic and senseless murder. The Foundation was a way for his death not to have been in vain. A way to provide what was denied to Von Dahne, in hopes of a brighter, safer future with control and purpose for our Black Youth and their Communities to make all of their dreams come true. The Von Dahne Foundation Thanks You In advance for any and all considerations given.

Dog-Training Therapy
The Foundation conducts a program that specifically targets our black youth through dog training therapy. By partnering with local animal shelters, our participants help to train the sheltered dogs, which allows for a mutually beneficial relationship between the participants and the puppies they train. Therapy animals – or even just adopting a pet – can lead to extreme improvements in mood and help people struggling with anxiety or depression learn to control daily anxieties and their overall mood.
