Mental Health Is Strength

Uplifting underserved youth with tools for healing, mentorship, and cultural connection—because silence should never be the only option.

Built from Strength. Powered by Culture.

The Khyiris Tonga Foundation is a faith-driven nonprofit rooted in Polynesian values, family, and fierce love for our youth.

Founded by Khyiris Tonga, defensive tackle for the New England Patriots, and his father, George Tonga, the foundation embodies what Khyiris has done his entire life—stand in the gap. On the field, he fills holes to support his team. Off the field, he fills the gaps left behind by broken systems, broken silence, and broken spirits—especially for youth battling mental health challenges in underserved communities.

This foundation stands for more than just football—it’s about faith, identity, healing, and legacy.

Our Vision

A world where no young person suffers in silence—where every child knows they are seen, valued, and built for strength.

The Mission

To fill the gap for underserved youth by providing mental health support, mentorship, and cultural connection rooted in faith and family.

We Act

We break stigma, open up conversations, and offer proven tools that help youth heal with strength and support.

How To Donate

In many of our communities, mental health is overlooked. Cultural stigma, trauma, and lack of resources keep our kids suffering in silence. They need safe places, trusted mentors, and a foundation to rise.
