Our Passion
The Grousemont Foundation was created as a private family foundation in the 1980s by Howard S. Wright, and extends a leadership legacy of giving since 1885. The family continues its support in an open-minded forum of exploration and engagement with Cascadian communities in offering resources for social justice, community needs and the earth.
Our Mission: A family of stewards resourcing communities to build a healthy and equitable Cascadia region.
