We believe that while not everyone has a traditional family, everyone has a cousin.
Big Cuz Foundation is a community-driven nonprofit helping people of all ages learn, grow, and build a better life together. A cousin is more than family: they're a friend, a guide, and a support system. We’re here to be that “cuz” for those who need it most, offering a helping hand and a path to success for people of all ages.
Big Cuz exists to be the big cousin every child deserves through relationships, scholarship, and life skills.

We’re dedicated to equipping individuals with the essential life skills they need to thrive. Whether it’s helping kids stay on track in school, providing adults with the tools to succeed in business, or offering guidance on financial literacy, we’re here to empower our community.
The 3 ways we show up for our cousins.
We believe growth happens through connection. Big Cuz builds bridges between mentors and young people, helping them feel seen, supported, and believed in. Whether it’s a check-in, encouragement, or guidance through life’s next steps, we’re here to remind every child: you matter, and you belong.
Because every child deserves someone in their corner.
Relationships
Scholarship
We help students aim higher by providing access to resources, scholarships, and tools that open doors. Big Cuz exists to make learning—and thriving—possible for every child, especially those who feel overlooked. Our goal is to equip the next generation to dream big and go farther.
Because opportunity should never depend on luck.
Life Skills
From managing money to navigating work, Big Cuz is committed to helping young people develop the real life skills. Through workshops, conversations, and events, we teach practical wisdom that empowers growth and independence.
Because knowing how is as important as knowing what.
