Our Categories
of Focus
The directives that Bill Wockner has made to those to be involved with the management of the Foundation are specific in some respects and in other respects quite general. The specific areas of focus are six in number, and each reflects an experience in or an aspect of Bill’s life. These areas include Family Shelter and Support, The Needs of Youth, Seniors and Vulnerable Adults, Medical Research and Care, The Military and First Responders, The Environment and Conservation.
We invite you to learn about our work in each area, view example organizations we have supported, and then read more about our impact.
Discretionary Grants
While a majority of our giving is focused on the six categories listed above, we also contribute to a select group of causes that are up to the discretion of the Foundation Directors. To learn more about our discretionary grant giving, please click the “Read More” button below.
