About TSJF
The Tanya S. James Foundation (TSJF) was born long before its official name was created. Its founder, Tanya, was born to be a world changer. Changing the world around her has been her life’s mission, one person and one cause at a time. It’s not what she does, it’s who she is.
For nearly twenty years, prior to the Foundation being established in 2022, Tanya created lasting impact amongst individuals, communities and organizations that are still being felt.

In 2023, TSJF launched its first international endeavor by partnering with ProSeed Foundation to build a school in the Ivory Coast.
