MISSION STATEMENT

 

The Andrus Family Fund embraces the following three challenges as we define our mission:

As leaders in a next generation fund... we challenge ourselves to respect the tradition and philanthropic values of our family as we explore new perspectives and innovative models for giving.

As individuals who have come of age in a world still unsafe for many... we challenge ourselves to collaborate with those working to create safer environments, whether physical, emotional, or psychological.

As board members of the Andrus Family Fund... we challenge ourselves to contribute to the body of knowledge and experience about what is necessary to create and sustain effective change. We will do this by focusing on Transition - that critical juncture in time and process - that, if properly attended to, affects positive change.
