Andis
foundation

Keeping communities and families connected.

OUR
MISSION

The Andis Foundation was created to help build strong families and develop thriving kids, which we believe builds a more vibrant community. Our Grants focus on finding and funding programs that help kids, families, and the overall community through education and development. The mission of Andis Foundation has always been to change lives and it always will be.

We’re building a
stronger community

Four generations of generosity and values of the Andis family led us to create the Andis Foundation. Guided by excellence, integrity, and respect of our culture within Andis Company, Andis Foundation continues to support these values and philosophies on multiple levels.

Children thrive when education extends beyond the classroom with enrichment programs that help them grow in body, mind and spirit.

Families

Families flourish with higher education that can lead to family-supporting jobs. We also support programs that promote success and prosperity by strengthening the family with healthy relationships.
