The T. Howard Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Silver Spring, Maryland, dedicated to increasing representation of people of color in the media and entertainment industry. It conducts nationwide recruitment aimed at identifying students of color through visits to more than 60 colleges, then places them into sponsored full-time internships with major industry players, with the goal of creating long-term career opportunities across entry to executive levels. Since its inception, the foundation has facilitated the internship experience for hundreds of participants and helped many alumni secure full-time roles within the industry, spanning media, technology, and related fields. The organization collaborates with a broad network of media and entertainment companies to provide internships and professional pathways, and it maintains a presence in the broader non-profit sector focused on diversity and inclusion initiatives. A recent leadership update indicates ongoing executive transitions as the foundation continues to expand its impact in promoting workforce diversity.
