About Us

Extra Mile America Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers individuals, organizations, and cities to "go the extra mile." Our work is inspired by the belief that "going the extra mile" opens doors to new possibilities. "Going the extra mile" improves the results we find in life, both professionally and personally. "Going the extra mile" allows us to make a difference in our community and in our world. "I passionately believe that now is the perfect time to do more, to push harder, and to be more creative. Challenging times are often what we need to rekindle that passion to create our own existence and not let circumstances dictate what happens to us. There is no better time than now to commit to adding more value to our jobs and our communities." - Executive Director, Shawn Anderson
