 Tony Medeiros

The Foundation’s founder and Executive Director, Anthony "Tony" Medeiros brings a personal glimpse into his previous lifestyle while mentoring some of Rhode Islands toughest children, women and men. Built upon Christian empowerment, Medeiros delivers a compelling perspective with a message of hope, wisdom, prosperity and truth. His experience, affiliations, persona and past create a gradual posture of respect for the ones he mentors. He is truly one of a kind in a landscape that many of us will never experience or comprehend.

A natural born leader, Medeiros' mentoring is based on experience and one book.

Medeiros states, "One of the Foundations faithful objectives is to spare our fellow brothers and sisters any avoidable pain”. “Moreover, to educate them, thereby avoiding a path of destruction and long term cyclical pain”.

Medeiros states, “If you change the way you think, you can change the way you live and the Word can be the catalyst for that change”.

Previously, Medeiros oversaw several technology companies, he was a past board member of the Smithfield Advisory Group and the Pawtucket Advisory Group. Concomitant to his responsibilities with each group Medeiros served as an Ambassador to the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce.

Currently, Medeiros sits on the board of Trustees for Rhode Island College and serves as an Ambassador to The Community College of Rhode Island.  His generosity to both Rhode Island College and The Community College of Rhode Island has assisted many of his state's young women and men pursue their academic endeavors. Medeiros is also an accomplished musician.

Today, Medeiros is called to steward his Foundation for what he terms "one child, one woman, one man and one community at a time". He has shunned the corporate world for his states inner city communities and their population. Armed with his message of hope, wisdom, prosperity and truth, combined with his eclectic background, Medeiros expects to renew the minds of all Rhode Islands children, woman and men and children, woman and men around the world with the ideology of the LIFT Foundations core values: Learn, Integrity, Faith and Transformation.

Medeiros resides with his loving wife Lauri Ann. They are the proud parents of two children, Crystalin C. Medeiros, Esq. and Anthony N. Medeiros.
