Raymus Foundation Grant

Background

Antone and Marie Raymus were fiercely committed to their local communities. Their vision for the future was powered by their faith, love, and compassion for others. Raymus Foundation honor our namesake by striving to support and empower the very communities that help define us.

Education

Education replaces empty minds with open ones and the Antone E. & Marie F. Raymus Foundation are committed to providing educational opportunities across the Central Valley. We provide funding to local schools from kindergarten to high school for classroom supplies, computers, sports, and more. Scholarship opportunities, music programs, and after school initiatives are just a few areas we hope to further support.

Healthcare

As we strive to spread hope and positivity within our communities, we understand the necessity of funding healthcare endeavors. Whether it be providing specialized beds to a neonatal intensive care unit, supporting new therapy programs that use music or dogs, or provide training tools for the education of future medical professionals. The Antone E. & Marie F. Raymus Foundation also knows that mental health issues are an equally pressing concern in our society. Our past grants have supported mental health initiatives like battered women’s shelters and special needs children, but we hope to do much more in the coming years as we firmly believe healthcare is crucial to our collective wellbeing.

Cultural Enrichment

Raymus Foundation believe one cannot define themselves without a cultural context. Whether funding a young girls’ softball team or renovations to a house of worship, we want to do more. Our foundation will seek out new and exciting ways to better the quality of life in the Central Valley by promoting activities, events that celebrate our shared culture.
