Thursday evening, Founder and CEO of The Dorothy Ann Williams Foundation Joshua R. Williams announced initiatives the organization will be undertaking in the community and abroad.
The Seacombe Prize (named for Dorothy Ann’s English birthplace) is an annually granted monetary fellowship by the Foundation. Think of a hyperlocal Nobel Prize. We will solicit nominations from community experts in the fields of the Arts and Music, the Humanities, Education, the Social Sciences, and Social Work. The fellows will represent the highest standard in curiosity and altruism.
Project Engineering Fate is a research and idea incubator that will address issues of human flourishing. The incubator will focus on allocating funds to research and work being done in the areas of Social and Structural Inequality, Criminal Justice Reform, Dehumanization, Human Beings and Technology, and our Psychological Well-Being.
At its core, the Foundation is built to engender social capital and our relationships that help determine our collective successes and failures.
“Our goal is to find the hidden human gems all around us,” says Founder and CEO Joshua R. Williams. “We want to give them the boost they need to get to the next level. The world we are a part of is a fascinating and wildly complex place. The Dorothy Ann Williams Foundation was started to create a community of voices who might otherwise have gotten lost in the crowd.”

Notes to Editor
About The Dorothy Ann Williams Foundation:
The Dorothy Ann Williams Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization established in memory of first-generation British immigrant Dorothy Ann Williams. We are a committed group of researchers, academics, students, and professionals whose shared goal is to foster a sense of community.
We connect people who have great ideas with a guide in their desired field of practice. Our guides are successful scholars, professionals, and researchers who have been through it before and will help navigate increasingly complex professional and educational systems and to seed their social network for a successful transition beyond or further into an academic career. The foundation will provide grants, both monetary and advisory, toward the needs of the individual.
