In 2017, Brent co-founded New Jersey based Victory Bay Recovery Center, applying his experience in sober recovery along with his history of scaling organizations to support impressive growth while maintaining its reputation for exceptional care.

Whether through innovative products or meaningful charitable efforts, Brent’s dedication to helping others reflects his belief in building a brighter, more connected future for all.

Early on, Brent made giving back a cornerstone of his life, supporting communities both locally and globally. He funded the construction of a new primary school in China, providing children with modern classrooms and essential supplies, and supported an orphanage in Costa Rica by building a learning center, financing a transportation van, and enhancing safety with a perimeter fence. In the U.S., Brent partnered with organizations like the Children’s Miracle Network, raising over $75,000 through custom product sales. His dedication to philanthropy also extended to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, where he helped raise over $20,000 through creative partnerships. Brent’s early philanthropic efforts set the stage for his lifelong dedication to empowering communities and creating meaningful change.

In 2023, the Brent Reese Family Foundation was founded, marking the start of a new chapter in Brent’s life by formally creating a vehicle that allows for meaningful and lasting change through his philanthropic efforts.

In this next phase, Brent is strengthening his commitment by investing even more financial resources into advancing the foundation’s mission. Focused on uplifting communities, preserving the environment, and fostering opportunities for growth and healing, the foundation embodies his passion for building a brighter, more equitable future for generations to come.

The Brent Reese Family Foundation operates no programs of its own but performs its mission by funding proven approaches from non-profit 501(c)3 organizations. Through direct program and mission related investments we strive to have the greatest possible impact with all of our assets.
