Who we are...

The Ludlow Foundation is private 501 (c)3 non-profit organization that was established in 1976 to assist those in need through non-profit agencies and to help organizations achieve their goals.

This foundation was founded by A. Ludlow and his family. As a small family-run foundation, we are not able to maintain programs, but we are able to offer individual grants.

The criteria used to select grant recipients is based upon the greatest need. This could be education, rehabilitation, crisis situations or special programs. The Ludlow Foundation's main concern is to meet essential human needs.

Since inception, The Ludlow Foundation has been able to provide special funding in excess of $1,243,121. Primary geographical requirements for grants are Washington and Alaska.
