BMO Foundation is founded by Macmichael Nwaiwu with a mission rooted in a profound legacy of kindness and the unwavering belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive. The foundation is named in honor and memories of Bernadette & Michael Nwaiwu and Ositadinma Opara. The BMO Foundation is a living tribute to three remarkable souls whose lives were testaments to the power of generosity, compassion, and the enduring human spirit.

At BMO Foundation, we are dedicated to unlocking potential and fostering empowerment through education and support. We believe in the transformative power of education and are committed to providing higher education scholarships to bright, deserving students who face financial barriers. Our aim is to illuminate paths to success and self-reliance, opening doors that might otherwise remain closed.

Also, we understand the challenges faced by widows striving to provide for their families, so we offer a hand of support through small business start-up funds, skill acquisition, and training. We envision a world where women are not only survivors but thrive as pillars of their communities, driving positive change and nurturing the next generation of leaders.

Our commitment extends beyond individual empowerment – it also encompasses community well-being. Through public health awareness campaigns, and partnership with other community projects, we strive to improve the quality of life for all. The foundation embodies the spirit of community service, fostering a culture of care, connection, and mutual support.

Dee Berna, Dee Mike, and Dee Osi were embodiments of kindness, love, and relentless pursuit of a better world while they were here, and we want to continue showing these virtues in their memory through these outreaches. BMO Foundation is registered with the Nigeria Corporate Affairs Commission (RC number 7382144) and incorporated in the state of Texas as a 501(c)(3) organization. Join us in this journey of kindness, empowerment, and transformation. At BMO Foundation, we don't just dream of a better world; we're making it a reality, one life at a time.
