Paying It Forward... Forever
The Christopher Wick Foundation was inspired by all of the teachers, mentors, family and friends that supported Christopher's journey along the way. From random acts of kindness to scholarships, Wick wanted to pay homage to all of those that contributed to his journey. It's rare we get to see what happens after our random acts of kindness, no matter how big or small, and the foundation is a perpetual instrument of the impact that teachers, mentors, family and friends had on his life.
The Global Impact We Create
A few examples of the global impact we create when we work together...
THE MOVEMENT BOOK
62 extraordinary entrepreneurs and social leaders from around the world answer this one critical question: 
‘What would be the best advice you’d give to your grandchildren to help them build a Better Business, a Better Life and a Better World?’  Between them the authors have advised governments, mentored startups to Fortune 500 companies, won awards and acclaim, written 42 other books and been featured by Forbes Inc, The New York Times, CNN and the BBC. Available on Amazon.
THE LEGACY BOOK
In 2015, a group of well-respected business leaders got together in Geneva. People like Sir Richard Branson, Paul Polman and Bill Gates.
They laid out a plan for business to save our world.
This plan became the Sustainable Development Goals (the SDGs) or the Global Goals. 
This brilliantly conceived and crafted book shows how  52 'ordinary' people are adopting, embracing and applying the goals and directly changing our world. Available on Amazon.
THE FOUNDATION
After creating over 83,000+ global impacts with his marketing agency in 7 years, Wick sold his agency to focus on his next chapter as a professional investor and business mentor. Now, as Chairman of Say Yes! Enterprises, a Texas-based investment management company Wick focuses on  acquiring, building and selling companies. As a result of selling his marketing agency, Wick created the Christopher Wick Endowed Fund with the University of Houston and the Christopher Wick Foundation in 2021. 
Supporting the Christopher Wick Endowed Fund
The Christopher Wick Foundation supports and funds the Christopher Wick Endowed Fund at the University of Houston, supporting the students at the Wolff Center of Entrepreneurship within the Bauer College of Business.
How The Christopher Wick Endowed Fund Works
Funded by the Christopher Wick Foundation, the Christopher Wick Endowed Fund perpetually selects students facing financial hardship, grants an annual scholarship to this student along with the invitation of mentorship.
Designation
In 2021, the Christopher Wick Endowed Fund was created to support the Wolff Center of Entrepreneurship at the University of Houston where Wick graduated college. The students in this program who are experiencing financial hardship are eligible to be selected to receive scholarships from the Endowed Fund.
Selection
Students are selected through applications and financial need. Unlike most scholarships, the Endowed Fund is not based on merit or grades, as Wick believes it's difficult to focus on maintaining a 4.0 GPA when a students struggling to make ends meet. Thus, the Endowed Fund focuses on character and financial need.
Perpetuity
The Endowed Fund will continue to provide scholarships in perpetuity as the scholarships given annually are created through the annual interest of the Endowed Fund. As the Wick Foundation contributes more towards the fund, the larger the interest will grow, thereby creating larger scholarships.
Your Donation Will Have A Recurring Lifetime Effect
Since the Endowed Fund will operate in perpetuity, your donation will increase the size of the principal, which impacts the annual interest that creates the scholarships. Unlike operational scholarships, your donation will impact the students this year and the students years from now.
The Local Impact We Create
All it takes is a vision and a mission to commit to helping students achieve their dreams.
