Programs: Property tax program: in response to outcries from the community and hearing the story of so many seniors who were losing their homes due to a tax sale in 2017, the dr. Willie wilson foundation proceeded to assist homeowners who struggled to pay their taxes. This resulted in helping over 400 homeowners with payments towards their property taxes.
church outreach ministry: in continuance of the philanthropic activities that dr. Willie wilson has personally made for over twenty years to churches, the foundation has continued making contributions to churches. In 2017, the foundation made over $100,000 of contributions to more than 40 churches.
bail reform program: in an effort to assist nonviolent misdemeanor offenders with continuing their lives (jobs, school, and family commitments)during the pendency of their trials, the dr. Willie wilson foundation found that these individuals were held (in jail)because of their inability to meet minimum bail requirements. As a result,the foundation posted bail for hundreds of individuals so they could continue their lives during this period. By shining a light on the need for bail reform, the dr. Willie wilson foundation supported house bill 3717. The bill was passed and signed into law on june 9, 2017. Now, nonviolent misdemeanor offenders no longer sit in jail because of their inability to post bail.
