Divine Direction Foundation is the Charitable Foundation of NFL Professional Football Player, Earl Cochran. Established in the Spring of 2007, Divine Direction Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) charity organization which serves as a vehicle to establish partnerships and provide outreach services to make a positive difference in the lives of people from all walks of life.



Our purpose is to establish partnerships and provide outreach services to individuals, schools, civic groups, charitable and faith-based organizations. Reaching out by way of time, talents, charitable contributions, financial donations, gifts, and scholarships. Encouraging and enabling youth and adults to reach their full potential and achieve success. We seek opportunities to mentor, tutor, inspire, uplift, support and make a positive difference in the lives of people from all walks of life; primarily catering to the diversified needs of underprivileged youth, senior citizens and youth athletics.



This Foundation is committed to equipping people with resources to ensure that they reach their full potential and achieve a level of success commensurate with their talents, skills and abilities. We feel blessed to have such an opportunity to provide community service and support. Our community involvement takes many forms. We welcome the opportunity to give back, and make a positive difference.



Our vision is to be a foundation that positively impact lives. We focus and strive on making a positive difference as often as we have opportunity. We are committed to reaching out and empowering people by serving and helping them to achieve their full potential. “Making” time to dispense good to people on a regular basis. We want to bring encouragement to people and let them know that no matter what condition they find themselves in, there is hope.
