Overview

John A. and Marlene L. Boll Foundation

The John A. and Marlene L. Boll Foundation is a private family foundation that was created in the early 1980's by John A. and Marlene L. Boll. As we sought to be faithful stewards of the resources entrusted to our care, we established the Foundation to provide charitable assistance to deserving organizations that share our values and are seeking to make a difference in our community.

The Boll Legacy

John and Marlene Boll have experienced great blessing and success through their business ventures and lifelong stewardship and investment practices. With gratitude and humility they have always sought to give back to the communities of which they have been a part by supporting education, the arts, and health services.

John and Marlene have provided opportunities to those who have not experienced the advantages afforded to them, and have reached out with generosity and love in response to their own overwhelming sense of gratitude to God for His provision.

Moral and Spiritual

We have seen the rewards of service expressed in the smiles of children, the beauty of art, and the fellowship of community, and the provision of God who sustains all things. While there are many worthy charitable projects that cover a multitude of interests and needs, we have chosen to concentrate on the following three areas to provide the maximum possible effectiveness of the Foundation's resources:

  • The encouragement of Moral and Spiritual Values;
  • The promotion of Educational Values;
  • Community Enrichment.

For the community, we assist Christian ministries that promote the development of moral and spiritual values through programs that meet a wide range of needs including youth camps, relief for the needy and Christian education.

The Foundation is inclined toward non-denominational, Christ-centered programs in accomplishing these goals.

Educational Values

To this end we seek projects that provide critical pathways to enhance academic curriculum as well as informal educational opportunities in arts and sciences.

Community Enrichment

A community is a diverse collection of people sharing responsibilities, reaching out for and nurturing common goals in public interest.

Our interests in community enrichment are varied, including medical research, health programs, and facilities to serve our community. Civic arts is one arena where this aspect of community is apparent.
