50 YEARS OF SERVICE - THE VIDEO

With over 50 years of service, the Kirkpatrick Foundation has given away more than $50 million in philanthropic funding.  The Foundation’s purpose, as stated in the original Articles of Agreement, was the “support of religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational undertakings within the United States, or any of its possessions.” Its approach to giving was to keep organizational structure simple, maintain personal involvement with the charities and cultural activities of the community, be open to new ideas and initiatives, and to encourage and embrace a large number of charities rather than largely supporting only a few. This video details that journey and the contributions the Kirkpatrick Foundation has made over the last 50 years.
