Melvin Mora created this foundation not only to help people pursue their dreams in sports, but to also provide help to those who need it. After a couple years from the creation of the Melvin Mora Foundation, he organized a Home Run Derby with Major League Baseball Players to fund enough money in Venezuela in order to recreate the hospital that his grandmother died in. From this event, the foundation was able to determine how many people were truly in need of help. Gerber Company and Chico Diaper Company provided assistance along with the Melvin Mora Foundation to donate food and other necessities to families that needed it.

The Melvin Mora Foundation went around the world steering kids away from the danger on the streets, and turned their worlds completely around. In doing so, kids were able to focus more on having fun by playing sports rather than worrying about their daily lives. The Melvin Mora Foundation has also expanded its donations to Aruba, United States, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. They have donated medical supplies and sports equipment. They hope to reach more countries across the ocean in order to help as many people as possible.
