The Harnish Foundation's mission is to make a significant difference in the lives of individuals and to enrich their quality of life.

What we fund:

Youth

• Helping youth with childhood illnesses or physical or mental disabilities to experience the “fun” in life.

• Supporting alternative education for at-risk and disadvantaged youth.

• Providing transitional services for youth who must live away from their families due to abuse or neglect.

Veterans

• Rebuilding the lives of our veterans and helping them to reenter civilian society.

• Building or otherwise providing homes for veterans to restore freedom and independence in their daily lives.

Adults

• Providing transitional services, education, and training to adults to improve their job skills and help them to reenter the workforce and build economic self-reliance.

• Improving the quality of life for those adults with serious medical conditions or mental and physical disabilities.
