Johnson & Haefling Family Foundation

OVERVIEW: Johnson & Haefling Family Foundation primarily funds grantmaking related to human services, education, and youth.

PROFILE: Established in 2004, the Johnson & Haefling Family Foundation was founded by veteran financier Carl Haefling and his wife Pamela. The foundation does not maintain a website, which limits information available on its grantmaking priorities and activities. According to tax filings, the Johnson & Haefling Family Foundation primarily funds grantmaking related to human services, education, and youth.

The couple direct steady sums to Gage Academy of Art. Given its lack of transparency, it is unclear what grantmaking strategies it prefers to use towards its grantmaking areas of interest.
