THE 68V FOUNDATION

THE 68V FOUNDATION

Steward what you’ve been given.

The 68V Foundation is the philanthropic arm of 68 Ventures — a registered 501(c)3 based on the Gulf Coast in Baldwin County, Alabama.

“The 68V Foundation exists to intentionally steward what the 68V team has been given and deploy it with purpose — betting on people, investing in opportunity, and strengthening the communities we call home.”

68 Ventures develops projects, invests in the future, and forges the leaders of tomorrow. We come from different places and backgrounds, but we share one drive — never settle for good enough, do more, give more. The Foundation is where that drive turns outward — backing the people, places, and culture that make this coast home.

Our giving is intentional, disciplined, and values-aligned. We don’t spread thin, and we don’t settle. We bet on people and places we believe in.

Doing All We Can with What We’ve Been Given

The Foundation is one piece of a larger commitment. Across 68 Ventures, giving back isn’t a program — it’s how we operate.

Different places, different backgrounds, one shared drive: do more, give more, and never settle for good enough.

Local nonprofits. 68V stands behind the nonprofit organizations doing the work that holds the Gulf Coast together — mentoring kids, protecting our environment, supporting law enforcement and veterans, championing the arts, and serving families across the region.

The 68 Ventures Bowl

Title sponsor since 2023, the 68 Ventures Bowl brings top college football to Mobile’s Hancock Whitney Stadium each season — Sun Belt vs. MAC, on a national stage, right here at home.

INVESTING IN PLACE

Land Donations

We’ve gifted more than $40 million in land to schools and municipalities across Baldwin County — including Baldwin Preparatory Academy, Stonebridge Elementary, Baller Dream Foundation, and 289 acres to the City of Daphne.

It’s a direct reflection of what we do and who we are — developing places, investing in the future, and building up the leaders who’ll grow up here.
