The Carl David Richardson Foundation, Inc. (CDR Foundation) was founded in April 2014 as a response to the untimely death of Carl David Richardson; who passed away during an altercation that could have been avoided if conflict resolution was available at the time. CDR Foundation’s aim is to educate people on how to resolve conflicts peacefully, deter negative responses to conflict and thereby form positive outcomes. CDR Foundation has developed and implemented positive responses to conflict through motivational speeches, seminars and workshops.

The CDR Foundation, Inc. was formed in remembrance of Carl David Richardson by his parents. Carl faced an untimely death at the age of nineteen when he refused to be bullied. The Carl David Richardson Foundation now caters to the community in hopes of eradicating negative response to conflict while promoting empowerment. Conflict is a part of our everyday lives and it can be considered to be normal, however, the ability to handle conflict with maturity, peace and professionalism can easily change a negative response to conflict into a positive future. The CDR Foundation feels that by learning the skills needed for successful conflict resolution and teaching them to others, we can save lives and create a safer environment for all.
