Born this way foundation
1.
2. The Beginning
Stefani Germanotta, better known as Lady
Gaga, and her mother Cynthia
Germanotta, decided to give back to the
community once Lady Gaga’s career took
off. They want to give back to the youth
community by helping them deal with
issues they may be facing, more
specifically, reducing harm towards one
another and spreading kindness.
3. Mission
The main goal of the Born This Way
Foundation is to “‘to help make the world a
‘kinder & braver’ place by empowering and
inspiring youth around the country, and
hopefully others who want to stand up for
kindness, acceptance and love
4. Why?
Lady Gaga is known for her extravagant
character and loud confidence, but was
teased for her individuality growing up. As
a result, the impact this had on her and due
to her great influence, her and her mother
felt that it is an important subject to
address.
5. The Foundation
The foundation consists of three parts:
2. Creating a safe environment in which anybody
can explore and express their individuality
3. Provide the tools necessary to encourage
advocacy, civic engagement and self-
expression
4. Give followers the opportunity to spread the
word and engage their local communities in
promoting kindness and acceptance
