GPII Foundation

The Gary Payton II Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals affected by dyslexia through education, support, and advocacy. We focus on early screening, detection, and certified assessment for youth and young adults with dyslexia, aiming to prevent academic setbacks and reduce stigma associated with dyslexia. In addition to our core dyslexia initiatives, the foundation operates transformative programs like the Wellness Initiative, which promotes year-round physical, mental, and educational well-being in minority communities within the Bay Area. Collaborating with strong community partners, we provide comprehensive wellness services, educational resources, and dyslexia screenings to families. Through strategic partnerships and initiatives like GPII EduConnect and Equalize The Odds, the foundation strives to create inclusive environments where everyone, regardless of their neurodiversity, has equal opportunities to thrive.
