Four decades of purpose, meaning, and community impact.
The Gambrell Foundation was created in 1988. In the nearly 40 years since our founding, we’ve supported communities in becoming a substantial source of purpose and meaning — critical ingredients for us all to live a great life. In 2015, the asset size of the foundation grew substantially, as did the requirements for leading a philanthropic organization of this size and scale.
Access to additional resources required us to ensure that the foundation is well-positioned for the future. We took steps to focus our strategy and support systems to enable greater impact. Our expectations for investments in the community have also changed and risen.
The foundation supports a range of important causes and does not accept unsolicited grant requests. We rely on a network of community leaders and volunteers for ideas that can have a long-lasting impact on our city and region.
