PROFILE: Established in 2017, the Morrow Legacy Foundation (MLF) is a private foundation that supports the Morrow family’s values. This foundation is managed by Wells Fargo Bank, which offers philanthropic services for private foundations and serves as the foundation’s trustee. The foundation aims to "support organizations doing effective work in a wide range of fields.” It funds local efforts for arts and culture, education, the environment, animal welfare and human services.
The Morrow Legacy Foundation has broad interests but tends to support the same types of organizations in each of its yearly grant cycles. The needs of American combat veterans and education in trades and technical skills as alternatives to college are interests of MLF. It is also a steady supporter of animal welfare causes, the arts and early childhood education. Grants typically go towards the general operations of local organizations. Recent grants have supported theaters, art museums, housing for veterans and environmental conservation groups.
