Established in 2007, the Derrick Martin Foundation aims to improve the  lives of underprivileged kids and single-parent homes in need in the  Baltimore and Denver areas. To achieve this goal, the foundation will  focus on various charitable efforts, including the advancement of  youth camps, in particular football camps, arts and activities for the  youth and those underserved communities.

The foundation hosted its first football camp this summer in Denver, Colorado.  Additional events include sponsoring Thanksgiving dinner giveaways and toy drives around the holiday season.
