Like a blank sheet of paper, The Patterson Foundation has infinite opportunities for impact. And like origami, the art of paperfolding, what we create is limited only by our imagination and discipline.
The Patterson Foundation connects with others to create New Realities.

We believe in delivering value far beyond a single act of philanthropy and creating ripple effects that are felt beyond a single community.
