About Us
In 1925, Edward Warriner Hazen established a foundation to "promote the public welfare, either by supporting existing agencies or through independent activities to be exclusively religious, charitable, scientific, literary or educational in character." Despite drastic changes in the social, political and economic landscape, Edward Hazen's legacy lives on through his foundation's longstanding support of the education and development of our youth. Young people, especially youth of color and children hindered by poverty, are still currently assisted by the foundation in supporting organizing and leadership toward dismantling structural inequity based on race and class.
