Safety – No one can build a better life without a solid foundation. We back initiatives that create real security—whether that’s for individuals in crisis, families in need, or communities at risk. Safety isn’t just about immediate protection; it’s about creating lasting stability that allows people to move beyond survival and into opportunity.

Comfort – People need more than survival; they need the space and resources to breathe, heal, and grow. Whether it’s through recovery programs, support networks, or access to the arts, we help create environments where people can move forward. Comfort means restoring dignity, fostering resilience, and ensuring that those who have faced hardship are met with the tools and support to rebuild on their own terms.

Service – Actions over words. We don’t just throw money at problems—we show up, get involved, and make sure the solutions we support are actually working. Service means being in the trenches, working alongside those making a difference, and refusing to settle for surface-level impact. It’s about commitment, follow-through, and ensuring that the help we provide leads to real, lasting change.

Love – Not the cliché kind—the kind that drives genuine care, tough conversations, and a relentless push for better outcomes. Love means committing to people and causes in a way that makes a difference, not just a statement. It’s about standing up when it matters, advocating with intention, and making sure every initiative we support is rooted in purpose, not just sentiment.

These values define how we operate. At the Brent Reese Family Foundation, we don’t believe in performative charity or passive giving. We’re here to do the work, create impact, and leave things better than we found them.
