“Access is based on proximity”
The Archetype Foundation is a new non-profit organization started in 2024 based in Washington State, serving the Pierce County area. Our mission is to address key societal issues, focusing on youth violence prevention, emergency financial assistance for families, food programs for needy families and the homeless, events and education for minority women. Through innovative programs, community engagement, and strategic partnerships, we aim to create a positive impact on the lives of the most vulnerable populations in our community. We actively engage in activism against crime, advocating for safer neighborhoods and social justice. Through these initiatives, the Archetype Foundation uplifts and strengthens the community, promoting equality, education, and security for all. We understand access is based on proximity, so we are always close to where the community needs us most.
Objectives:
Distribute food to 300 needy families and homeless individuals monthly.
Organize and host events and educational programs for 800 minority women annually.
Build a community center with free services, providing education, soft and hard skills.
Back To School Backpack Giveaway

Fireworks for Juneteenth!!
In Washington state we are asking local and state governments, tribal and firework companies to consider selling fireworks specifically intended for Juneteenth celebrations. The addition of fireworks to our Juneteenth festivities symbolizes not just our freedom, but the vibrant spirit of our community as well.
