The Taylor Rooks Foundation is sponsored by Players Philanthropy Fund Inc. and is dedicated to empowering underserved communities and amplifying underrepresented voices by meeting needs that are often overlooked with dignity, care, and action.

“I believe that equity starts with access - access to care, to confidence, to opportunity,” said Rooks in a statement. “My work is rooted in trust, community, and the radical idea that a single act of support can rewrite someone’s story.”

The TRF’s first efforts began on Friday, June 13, after Rooks made a donation to the Lower East Side Girls Club. On this day, Rooks also spent time with the girls of the LES Girls club, jumped rope with them, and hula-hooped.

"Funding from the Taylor Rooks Foundation supports the Lower Eastside Girls Club's free innovative programming and vital services offered to female-identified and gender-expansive youth, their families, and the broader Lower East Side community in NYC.” said a LES Girls Club representative in a statement. “The Foundation's generous contribution helps further our mission of creating joy, power, and possibility at a critical moment when the need is more urgent than ever."
