General Questions

I want to get involved in Warrick Dunn Charities. What are my options?

We would love to have you lend your time, talent, or treasure to Warrick Dunn Charities! Please see our homepage and click on the appropriate icon to volunteer or make a donation. If you have a question about our opportunities, please email us at info@wdc.org or call (470) 585-1648.

I am in need of new home. Can Warrick Dunn Charities assist me?

Warrick Dunn Charities currently partners with affordable housing providers such as Habitat for Humanity to provide single parents and their children with down payment assistance and furnishings, décor, and all of the necessitates required to turn a house into a home. At this time, we do not buy, build, or give homes away for free, but partner with local agencies and companies to give hard-working parents a hand up in their pursuit of homeownership.

I am in need of financial assistance. Can Warrick Dunn Charities assist me?

Warrick Dunn Charities does not directly provide financial assistance to individuals. We truly understand the burden of debt and financial hardships that many families face and offer free resources through our Financial Literacy program, Count on Your Future. Classes are currently offered virtually in April and September.

I am a huge Florida State University / Tampa Bay Buccaneers / Atlanta Falcons fan! Can I get my Warrick Dunn memorabilia autographed by him?

Yes! Mr. Dunn loves his fans. We ask that all requests include a self-addressed, postage paid return mailer and a minimum donation of $28 to Warrick Dunn Charities.

I would like for Warrick Dunn to attend or speak to my event. How can I make this request?

Mr. Dunn is in high-demand but considers each invitation carefully. Mr. Dunn’s publicist coordinates his national speaking engagements and can be reached through contact@warrickdunn.com.

About Our Program

Homes for the Holidays

Homes for the Holidays (HFTH) is our flagship program at Warrick Dunn Charities. Our focus is on providing a hand-up – not a handout – to single parents and their children. We surprise single parent families (who are actively working to support themselves) with home furnishings and downpayment assistance.

In short, with the help of donations from our sponsors and individuals like you, we work with local partners to turn houses into homes for single parent families.

Count on Your Future

Warrick Dunn Charities established the Count on Your Future program in 2014 – with support from Country Financial – to teach families how to achieve economic empowerment.

Through our Count on Your Future program, participants learn about proper budgeting, insurance, investing, and saving from finance industry experts in order to envision and execute a path to a financially secure future.

Sculpt

Sculpt was founded to expand upon the impact our pantry-fills have on the single-parent families we serve through our flagship program, Homes for the Holidays. Our industry-professional led workshops teach families about the importance of being physically active, making nutritious food choices, creating access to healthier food, and eating healthy on a budget. Participating families are provided with the tools and resources needed to kickstart what they’ve learned.

Hearts for Community Service

The Hearts for Community Service scholarship program provides financial needs-based awards (scholarships) to support students who are active volunteers in their community and are attending – or soon to be attending – a post-secondary institution.

The $5,000 scholarship award is available in each of the Warrick Dunn Charities flagship states: Florida, Georgia and Louisiana.
