Wil-Power Foundation

The Wil-Power Foundation was formed to honor the memory of William Mintner, who’s short and purposeful life lasted from 1997-2015. The loss of Wil inspired those that were close to him to form a movement designed to educate other people about how to prevent such a great loss in their own lives. It is a primary focus of The Wil-Power Foundation to embrace all of the qualities of Wil that were his best, both through the professionals that embody the foundation and through the methods employed in the delivery of services. In the key principles listed, some of these attributes can be captured by words, others remain in our hearts alone.

Heads Above Water, spring 2019

A workshop designed for graduating seniors who plan to leave home for college.

During this learning experience, students will gain knowledge in the areas of financial wellness, nutritional considerations, stress management techniques, and our signature message “Never Alone”.

We are currently in need of donations to keep this learning experience FREE to the seniors of Marion County Schools; and to buy learning materials for the class which will be provided to the students in 2019. In order to currently operate this class, we must borrow projectors as well as other learning tools. Any donations above and beyond what is needed to keep this class free to Marion County Students will be put towards the purchase of these items.

We thank you for your interest in The Wil-Power Foundation and your willingness to help the young adults of Marion and Citrus County, FL.
