Mission & Focus Areas

No mission statement for the foundation is provided. Its 2022 filing lists grants for medical purposes, education, and housing for poor people. Among its grantees, the National Kidney Foundation describes its work as addressing preventable kidney disease, patient experience, and inequities in kidney care; the Lupus Research Alliance describes its work as developing lupus diagnostics and treatments through research and collaboration.

Grantmaking

In 2022, the foundation made 12 grants totaling $8,800. Grants ranged from $200 to $1,600, with a median of $750.

The 2022 filing states that the foundation made contributions only to preselected charitable organizations and did not accept unsolicited requests. As the same filing reports that the foundation was liquidated during 2022, this policy should not be read as a current application opportunity.
