Who We Are
About Us
The Gentle Push Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization was inspired by the personal journey of our founder, Dr. Abiodun Olalere, who knows firsthand the challenges that poverty imposes on children with dreams and potential. Growing up, he experienced how financial hardships could limit opportunities, especially in education.
However, at pivotal moments, the kindness of others made all the difference. Whether it was someone contributing to his school fees, providing accommodation, offering words of encouragement, or even praying for him, these “gentle pushes” became stepping stones that empowered him to pursue his dreams.
In the spirit of giving back, Dr. Olalere and his wife have personally supported numerous individuals over the years. Yet, as they encountered more and more people in need, it became clear that their resources alone could not meet the overwhelming demand. This realization led to the creation of the Gentle Push Foundation—a platform where like-minded individuals and organizations can come together to uplift the most vulnerable in society.
The Gentle Push Foundation isn’t just about giving; it’s about empowerment. It’s about showing these children that, with a little help, they can soar. And it’s about creating a ripple effect—one small push at a time—that will inspire lasting change. We are committed to ensuring that every donation we receive is judiciously utilized. Transparency and accountability are core values of the Gentle Push Foundation, and we strive to make sure that every contribution goes directly toward the intended purpose.
We invite you to join us in providing those critical “gentle pushes” that can transform lives. By partnering with us, you will not only empower dreams but also contribute to building stronger communities and a better society for all. All donations are tax-deductible. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
