ABOUT US

Rooted in faith and fueled by purpose, The Juanita Mincey Foundation exists to make sure our youngest and oldest neighbors are never forgotten. TJMF was founded on the belief that every child deserves a strong start, and every elder deserves dignity in care. Inspired by the Christian values instilled by Reverend Juanita Mincey, the foundation has grown into a multifaceted service organization under the visionary leadership of her daughter, Denise Mincey-Mills, a dynamic leader with a deep passion for education, healthcare access, and community building. 

​

Denise, a University of Miami alumni and respected civic leader, brings years of community engagement to her role. She brings both professional experience and personal dedication to this work, serving on several nonprofit and advisory boards and building bridges between families and the services they need. Her leadership has helped shape TJMF into a hub of holistic support- a place where children and seniors alike receive not only scholarships and care, but advocacy, joy, and hope. 

​

We serve children with early education support, social services, and mental health wellness checks. Through TJMF, we provide scholarship assistance for early learners and college bound students. For seniors we offer mental health screenings, Medicaid and Medicare navigation, and connections to partner programs that promote independence, wellness, and social engagement. Our team also works closely with like-minded organizations to amplify our impact and reach more individuals across Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
