|
The Richard K. and Shirley S. Hemingway Foundation was founded in 1987 by Richard Keith
and Shirley Stranquist Hemingway to provide resources to charitable organizations that
are committed to promoting values consistent with their interests and those of their children.
The scope of the Foundation is centered in the following areas:
- Fostering Self-Reliance Among Disadvantaged Populations;
The Foundation sets out to help economically, culturally, and physically disadvantaged
populations so that they may become self-reliant and able to provided for their own needs.
The Foundation is interested in preventative, results oriented programs that encourage
personal development, spiritual development, community involvement and affordable housing.
- Promoting and Encouraging Environmental Stewardship;
The Foundation has a strong commitment to the natural world and a sustainable human environment.
The Foundation supports nature education, environmental protection, environmental advocacy,
and the acquisition and preservation of open space.
- Protecting and Nurturing Young Children and Teens;
The Foundation believes that all young people deserve a good start in life.
The Foundation therefore invests in programs that emphasize early childhood education,
good parenting skills, basic child medical care, positive activities for teens and at-risk
children, and healthy, safe environments for children of all ages.
- Encouraging or Inspiring Involvement in the Arts;
The Foundation believes that the arts contribute immeasurably to quality of life and character.
The Foundation therefore funds programs that provide opportunities for under privileged
individuals to experience and participate in the arts. The Foundation also provides support
to certain organizations with a history of providing outstanding arts programming to the
community at large.
The Foundation gives preference to programs, which have a direct and substantial human benefit over
funding of capital campaigns or ordinary operations and focuses their resources upon projects that
serve communities in the States of Utah and Idaho.
