Focus Areas
- Health Care
- The goal is to improve access to quality health care for as many people as possible. They support a wide range of services, including hospitals, hospice and palliative care, as well as organizations that offer free medical exams and medication to the uninsured and underinsured. They also fund critical health care research in areas such as cancer, urology, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Education
- The foundation believes today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders—and their success will shape the future of communities and country. The Foundation is committed to supporting access to higher education and ensuring quality K–12 public education. By helping children and adults pursue their educational goals, they’re also investing in the strength of local economy. The education grants primarily fund capital projects, scholarships, and student support services, with a current focus on advancing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs.
- Youth Programs
- Young people are the heart of our future, and the Foundation is dedicated to supporting programs that help children grow in both skills and character. Approximately 18% of total grant funding is focused on youth programs. The Foundation invests in a wide range of initiatives, including education, after-school programs, mentorship opportunities, and access to health care.
- Veterans
- Veterans have made tremendous sacrifices in service to country and the freedoms we enjoy. The Foundation is proud to commit nearly 8% of our support to organizations dedicated to serving United States veterans and their families. They focus support on programs that provide medical care, and offer housing, scholarships, and financial assistance.
- Human Services
- A thriving community begins with the well-being of its people. Approximately 7% of grant funding supports programs that empower individuals to improve their own lives and build a stronger future.
