About Us The Bernau Family Foundation exists to promote the long term improvement of individual lives and the development of positive leadership. Our vision is a society in which everyone is a healthy, active, contributing member who feels the civic responsibility to continue learning, to teach and mentor, and to encourage one another to grow in grace and faith.
