The Johannessen Foundation

Small kindnesses, close to home.

We run giving drives throughout the year that connect generous people with families in our community who need a hand.

Our motto

Hold Fast.

A nautical term referring to holding tightly to the sails, often in storms, so as to keep the ship moving in the direction that is needed.

For our Foundation, it refers to staying focused on and committed to our values and principles.

i.

Community

We hold fast to the belief that it is our duty to protect and to contribute to our communities, to find common ground and work together for the betterment of us all.

ii.

Every child

We hold fast to the belief that every child, no matter their background or circumstance, deserves the opportunity to reach their own greatest potential.

iii.

Every hand

We hold fast to the belief that every hand is important and valuable, and that it is in working together that we can understand, learn from, and appreciate each other.

iv.

Stay the course

We hold fast to the belief that there will always be winds and storms but that by working together, we stay on course to our destination.

We've proudly been a part of our communities for over a decade, we're finally putting a name to it; The Johannessen Foundation.
