The Ed Reed Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Columbia, Maryland, founded by Baltimore Ravens Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed. It supports at-risk youth by providing character-building opportunities through athletic initiatives, mentorship, leadership development, and exposure to new environments. The foundation focuses its efforts on the communities where Reed grew up and played, specifically Baltimore, Miami, and New Orleans, guided by values such as Respect, Educate, Empower, and Dream. In addition to youth programs, the foundation partners with other organizations to assist families in need, including meal programs for students and the broader community. Recent collaborations include Baltimore Times Inc. providing meals for families connected to its students, and partnerships with The Local Oyster and True Oyster Co. to deliver meals to needy families.
