Legacy Foundation (LFFCD)

The mission of the Legacy Foundation for Family and Community Development (LFFCD) is to disarm any weapon formed against our children. This is done by continuing to Honor, Uplift, Inspire and Deliver positive development for the benefit of underserved BIPOC youth, families and communities where barriers and stigma exist in obtaining cultural inclusive services and care.

We vision a world where promising health: mental, physical, spiritual, financial is afforded to all and absent of man created barriers.

Legacy Foundation for Family and Community Development is led by Troy Grimes who has an extensive background of over 25 years of human service, youth development, family development, fatherhood development, community development, nonprofit fit work and systems change. He is joined by his wife Teresa Grimes, Mental Wellness Director and Co-Founder. She has a Bachelors in Criminal Justice, Masters in Psychology, worked for over 20 years in Denver Public Schools and 5 years with Colorado Judicial Branch as a Denver Juvenile Probation Officer. Teresa's work history and educational background have helped to shape her as an outstanding leader of Mental Wellness services for Legacy Foundation.

Our contractors and volunteers are vetted not only for their experience in their subject matters but also for their cultural competency and relationship with our geographical areas served.

Legacy Foundation actually began in 2007 as Project Proud Fatherhood Program llc. which worked to serve men, boys, moms and families in areas of mentorship, parent education, systems navigation, reunification and all of the other services mentioned previously. In 2020 we found the need to fully expand into a fully comprehensive non profit was great and the infrastructure to preserve our family’s Legacy of service, that extends far before and beyond just she and I was necessary. Therefore, we set abound to create Legacy Foundation so that we could not only continue our vision to see a world where health: mental, physical, spiritual and in all ways is afforded to all without barriers but to also lift the Legacy of our ancestors and angels such as Gerie Grimes, Kenneth Grimes, Destiny Litt-McGhee and so many others.
