Overview: Donor-advised fund established by Kathy and Ted Parker in 2021. Kathy served on the Foundation's Grants Committee.

What They Fund: The fund supports causes meaningful to Kathy and Ted:

  • Immigrant causes: Supporting people new to the community and immigrant populations

  • Environmental stewardship: Preserving natural assets and recreational opportunities in the region
  • Background: Kathy spent two years of childhood in Puerto Rico where she didn't speak Spanish, which made her sympathetic to people who are new to communities. Ted is an investment advisor who values environmental assets and the natural beauty of the area. Both believe in treating people decently and providing opportunities, recognizing that not everyone starts from the same place.
