The Foundation’s Mission
Established in 2003, the Harry C. & Deborah L. Elliott Family Foundation is the philanthropic arm of builder and developer Elliott Homes. The Foundation’s mission is to enhance the quality of human life in the communities it serves. To that end, we help patients gain access to life-saving emergency care at hospitals, women and children rebuild their lives with safe shelter, and college students reach their goals through multi-year scholarships, among other projects. The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors that meets on a monthly basis.
Current grantees seeking to renew funding should contact the specific person with whom they have been communicating before submitting a new proposal. Written proposals from first-time or non-recurring applicants are reviewed within four to six weeks of receipt to determine if the proposed effort fits within our giving program. If so, a representative will contact your organization for more information. We are unable to respond to telephone inquiries.
