THOUGHTFUL. SELFLESS. GENEROUS. FUN. DEVOTED. LEADER.
These describe the essence of the man upon which this organization was founded.
The Together Giving Back [TGB] Foundation is an impact-driven national nonprofit dedicated to safeguarding children from sex trafficking activities and empowering kids in rural America by fostering self-sufficiency. Through the work of this 501(c)(3), we’re helping to build advanced technology and programs that stop the spread of sexually exploitative content online, fights against child sex trafficking & abuse … and even aids in the capture of the perpetrators. The TGB Foundation also encourages self-sufficiency in children from rural towns through our S.T.E.M. & Robotics programs that ignite a passion for technology careers
Created in honor of Optomi, llc Cofounder, Todd G. Black, the Foundation focuses its efforts on giving kids the best life possible. Todd championed strong values, generosity, warm-hearted corporate culture, and he relished any opportunity to make a positive impact in people’s lives. His giving spirit, genuine heart for those in need, and passion for doing the right thing made him a remarkable leader, friend, husband, father and neighbor. Fueled by these philosophies, The TGB Foundation carries on his legacy.
Directed by those closest to Todd’s heart, our collective passion is transforming little lives and fostering thriving communities. Join us in our mission to create a safer, more prosperous future for all children
