of GBC-Giving Back Corporation

GBC-Giving Back Corporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1997 by actor and writer Ken Sagoes. Based in Los Angeles and serving communities nationwide, GBC works to support young people and strengthen community connections through education and giving back. Its mission is to offer a helping hand to people striving to help themselves, encourage youth to pursue educational goals, and foster confidence, positive attitudes, and meaningful community involvement.

The organization provides scholarships for college-bound students and shares information to help young people explore these opportunities. GBC also works to honor pioneers in the entertainment industry, reflecting its founder’s background in film, television, and theater. The corporation’s purpose is rooted in Sagoes’s experience of receiving community support for his own education and his commitment to extending that support to others. Through its activities, scholarship initiatives, and community-focused efforts, GBC aims to help young people build brighter futures and create lasting impact. The organization operates Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and can be reached at (310) 226-6198.
