Early Donors

Caring individuals have always cared deeply about the plight of low income people as they reached old age, often they are people without family, struggling to find the means to take care of themselves. Ample evidence of that concern is found in the generosity of the Foundation’s early donors. Below is a list of those farsighted people and the gifts they made up until the end of the Great Depression years.

We are pleased to honor our early donors here.
