    Shared Aspirations: Who & What

The Patterson Foundation strengthens people, organizations, and communities through more than 20 active philanthropic initiatives. While each initiative is unique in nature, scope, and endeavors, they are all guided by a commitment to fostering wide participation among people, businesses, nonprofits, government, and the media around shared aspirations.

Collectively, The Patterson Foundation’s initiatives interweave to strengthen a greater ecosystem — creating meaningful impact around key factors that are universal determinants of a community’s quality of life.
