The George F. Russell, Jr. Fund supports nonprofits that reflect the lifelong interests of one of our founders, George Russell. Internationally, George is an advocate for reducing wealth disparities and poverty, the promotion of free markets, improving cultural relations, and ground-level humanitarian projects. A native of Tacoma, Washington and seeking to reduce disparities at a local level, George’s most recent focus has been supporting basic community needs in Pierce and Kitsap Counties. Funds are distributed through a by-invitation-only program.
