Cyril Fonyonga Fonjong

Founder & President

Cyril Fonyonga Fonjong is the Founder and President of Giving Hope to All Foundation Inc., a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) advancing youth empowerment, mental wellness, dignity, and community development across the United States and Cameroon's North West Region. Originally from Batibo and now based in Maryland, he has spent nearly a decade building programs that bridge the African diaspora and underserved communities back home, from soccer-for-mental-health tournaments in conflict-affected areas, to inclusive initiatives like Frames of Hope, which provides free birthday and graduation photoshoots for children with autism and special needs, to the Free Pads Project supporting girls' dignity and wellbeing.

Beyond the Foundation, Cyril leads Fortitude Consulting Group, where he supports nonprofits, churches, and small businesses with grant strategy, compliance, and funder positioning. He is also a photographer and storyteller through Mr. C Images, and convener of the Empower Diaspora Summit. His work is grounded in one conviction: that structure, dignity, and visibility can transform overlooked communities into thriving ones.
