THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION

The Luke Garrison Foundation is a non-profit corporation established in memory of Luther Snyder Garrison III by his brother, Thomas Garrison.  

Luke had a variety of interests. He had a passion for learning, especially about science and nature, and loved the outdoors, sports, and his church. Luke was inclusive and generous, so to honor his memory appropriately, our mission is to provide access and encouragement for others to pursue these interests. The Luke Garrison Foundation will provide this support through a series of grants each year to organizations that fit this purpose.

Special thanks to Bruce and Anne Babcock; Russell L. Isenhour, CPA PC; Patrick Harper & Dixon, LLP; and Lynch & Eatman, LLP for their help and support in setting up the foundation.
