ABOUT THE FOUNDATION.
MISSION & CORE VALUES.
The Terence and Jill Smith Foundation is an operational, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.
The Foundation is on a mission to spread awareness of the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation—an issue impacting six in 10 adults in the United States and leaving over 50 million people feeling disconnected. Whether single or married, veterans or civilians, many individuals are silently struggling with the pain of separation and lack of meaningful support. We are committed to helping restore connection and build communities of belonging. Guided by the Word of God—‘It is not good that man should be alone’ (Genesis 2:18)—we strive to ensure that no person walks through life isolated and/or feeling lonely, but instead finds hope, healing, and community in Christ-centered fellowship.
The Foundation's core values include:
-
Christ-Centered Love
-
We believe true healing and belonging are found in God’s love. Every awareness campaign, social activity, and supported project reflect the command to “love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34).
-
-
Connection & Community
-
We are committed to help break isolation by hosting meaningful social activities for singles, couples, and families. “God sets the lonely in families” (Psalm 68:6).
-
-
Compassion with Action
-
Loneliness is not just a feeling—it’s a public health crisis affecting over six in 10 adults. We respond with practical solutions, awareness, and support systems that bring lasting change.

-
Strengthening Marriages & Families
-
We believe strong marriages and families are vital to combating loneliness and building legacy. “Two are better than one… for if they fall, one will lift up his fellow” (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10).

-
Legacy of Hope
-
Our work is generational. We aim to transform isolation into belonging and hopelessness into hope, leaving a Christ-centered legacy of connection for future generations.
