Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure that individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer's can remain in the comfort of their homes, surrounded by the love and familiarity of their families. Through dedicated support, resources, and advocacy, we strive to create a nurturing environment that promotes dignity, connection, and quality of life.  At the Michael Powell Foundation, we take a unique and innovative approach to dementia support by providing tablets preloaded with interactive games, music, books, and cherished family photos—helping individuals maintain cognitive engagement and emotional connection. Additionally, we offer puzzles, board games, coloring books, and reading materials designed to stimulate memory, creativity, and overall well-being, ensuring that individuals living with dementia have access to enriching and comforting activities.

Michael Powell Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by Dementia/Alzheimer's. Founded by Shanikka Gibson, who personally witnessed the profound impact of this condition on her loved one, our organization was built on a foundation of compassion, advocacy, and unwavering support.

Your love is the strongest medicine, and with your support, we can continue making a lasting difference in the lives of countless families by keeping their loved ones at home with family.

Michael Powell Foundation is a federally recognized 501(c)3 Tax exempt nonprofit organization.  As such, donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
