Forge Your Forever Foundation began with a simple belief: when a community supports your success, you have a responsibility to give back. As the owners of FORGE Jewelry Works, we built our business on three core pillars, one of which was always service. Since 2014, FORGE has donated more than $750,000 to nonprofit organizations and community causes, including Saprea, AFSP, the American Heart Association, local schools, and arts programs. While we were proud of that impact, we always felt called to create something of our own, something that would help strengthen lives for generations to come.
That opportunity came through a conversation with a member of our team who recognized a growing need: young couples wanted to build healthy, lasting marriages but often couldn't afford the resources and support available to them through private counseling. We immediately knew we had found our purpose. Forge Your Forever Foundation was born from the belief that every couple deserves access to the tools, education, and community that help relationships thrive.
Today, we're honored to invest in engaged and newly married couples as they build the foundation for their future together. Because strong relationships don't just change individual lives—they strengthen families, enrich communities, and create a legacy that lasts far beyond a wedding day.
