BUILDING FOUNDATIONS & DREAMS WAS FOUNDED BY ADAM LEITMAN BAILEY TO ASSIST STUDENTS OF ALL AGES IN PURSUING THEIR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL DREAMS.

We strive to give back to our community in as many ways as possible, including by awarding prestigious college scholarships, youth mentoring, contributing to local charities, and much more. Through Building Foundations & Dreams, students are provided with the tools they need to excel in life and make their dreams come true.

Every society should be judged on how we treat those persons who do not have the resources to help themselves. I have made a commitment to take the most talented young men and women from the most underserved communities and provide them with the resources and tools allowing them to be able to go after their dreams academically and as future leaders of our society.
