The Wilson Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established by Dallas philanthropist Trisha Wilson in 1997 to address the needs of disadvantaged and underserved children. Most of their work is focused in Limpopo Province, South Africa - about three hours North of Johannesburg - an area devastated by extreme poverty, unemployment, substandard education, and an HIV/AIDS pandemic that has left a staggering number of orphans and other vulnerable children in its wake.

Trisha Wilson's inspiration to establish The Wilson Foundation came as a result of her business travels around the world on behalf of her Dallas-based company, Wilson Associates. As designer of some of the most luxurious and exotic hotels, resorts and residences in the world, Wilson was moved by the contrast between privilege and poverty around the world and the importance of education in creating opportunities for advancement and economic independence.
