About The Sanneh Foundation
The Sanneh Foundation is a Minnesota based not-for-profit corporation established in June of 2003 by World-Class Soccer Player, Tony Sanneh. The Sanneh Foundation, headquartered in St. Paul, spearheads our nonprofit, nonpartisan, community-based movement. Our desire at the Foundation is to support community-based organizations nationwide and to assemble a supportive network within communities that provide positive environments for urban youth to become positive and productive adults. In addition, the Foundation is committed to support and prepare urban youth, access to the economic, educational, political and social mainstream.
The Sanneh Foundation salutes and supports established community-based organizations that are working to improve the quality of life in urban communities. Due to government cut backs in funding for urban programs, it’s vital for private sector, new and existing foundations, churches and concerned individuals to step in and fill the void. The cycle in urban communities of desperation and poverty calls for our continued vigilance in overcoming the hopelessness that can destabilize a community.
