About Us

DJ Bling Foundation was founded in 2013, by Joseph "DJ Bling" Thompson, in order to address a shortage of school supplies for students whose families couldn't afford enough supplies for the school year. As the years progressed, our organization has added various programs to address the lack of educational resources, health services, and family support in economically disadvantaged communities. Our programs include free school supplies, bike safety, technology access, academic counseling, performance opportunities, and the Family Advancement Mentoring and Education Center to address mental health and addiction issues. Since 2013 DJ Bling Foundation has served over 12,000 students and their families living in Bastrop and Travis Counties and attending Bastrop, Austin, Pflugerville, Del Valle, and Round Rock school districts.

Mission

Our mission is to invest in economically disadvantaged communities and provide them with educational resources to attain and maintain success in academics, the arts, and overcome social disparities.
