Granting
We do this by investing in programs and initiatives that enrich and empower individuals, families and societies, and that educate and bring greater awareness to the human condition. We strive to enhance the work that provides systemic solutions and upward movement for our fellow citizens.
Toward that end, the Embrey Family Foundation makes community grants in the following areas:
Human Rights
Education
Human Services
Arts and Culture
