Marquette's Destiny Foundation

Marquette’s Destiny Foundation is a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives through education, advocacy, and support. Founded by Dr. Marquette L. Walker, the foundation aims to empower women, men, and at-risk youth in the Triangle region to overcome challenges like homelessness, addiction, and poverty, guiding them toward healing and purpose.

Building on MLWM’s proven success in supporting women through crises with workshops and worship services, Marquette’s Destiny Foundation expands its reach to serve diverse populations. The foundation offers five core programs, that provide:

• • Mentorship, tutoring, and life skills training
  • Resume-writing and professional wardrobe assistance
  • Childcare and food distribution services
  • Targeted support for postpartum women and housing-insecure men
  • Community partnerships to address homelessness and addiction

“Every individual has a God-given destiny,” said Dr. Marquette L. Walker. “Our mission is to walk alongside those in need, offering holistic, faith-based programs that inspire healing, growth, and empowerment. We’re here to help our community thrive, one step and one prayer at a time.”

The foundation is actively recruiting case managers, licensed social workers, and volunteers while building partnerships with local churches, job providers, and housing organizations to create a robust support network. Inspired by Dr. Walker’s personal journey of overcoming adversity, Marquette’s Destiny Foundation is committed to providing hope and practical resources to those navigating life’s toughest seasons.
