First Class Foundation has six pillars which are: Family, Criminal Justice, Politics, Education, Business and Enterprise and Health. Each Pillar represents the areas where First Class Foundation has influence and opportunities for the target group i.e., training and support in business and enterprise.   Nathan also helps many companies engage, connect, and build lasting relationships with those deemed traditionally hard to reach through Legacy Consultants, which helps companies think about how they engage with diverse communities.
