My Mission

Power Moves in Philanthropy exists to make bold, strategic, and compassionate investments in

people and communities. I create high-impact opportunities that uplift the underserved,

support single parents, empower youth, and restore dignity to those often overlooked.

Through intentional giving and purpose driven action, I'm making Power Moves In Philanthropy -

transforming lives and championing small businesses along the way.

"Philanthropy doesn't have to be large or loud. Power moves are deliberate, meaningful

actions that change lives in quiet but powerful ways. This initiative is about creating

impact without barriers or bureaucracy"

The Cheryl Ruffin Initiatives

Purple Key Football Scholarship

A Cheryl Ruffin Initiative Program that provides paid one-on-one football training for inner-city youth, unlocking athletic potential while building confidence, discipline, and oppurtunity.

The Rested Yard

A Cheryl Ruffin Initiative Program for paid summer lawn care for single parents because sometimes rest looks like a freshly cut lawn and one less thing to carry.

The Crown Effect

A Cheryl Ruffin Initiative Program that provides braided hairstyles for young girls ensuring they walk into school confident & proud, because when a girl feels confident she doesn't shrink, she shows up with presence.

100% personally funded.

100% direct impact.

No politics.

No fundraising agendas.
