The F. M. Kirby Foundation was established in 1931 to provide funding to non-profit organizations which help foster self-reliance or otherwise create strong, healthy communities. Today, programmatic areas include arts, culture, and humanities; education; environment and animals; health; human services; public affairs; and religion. The Foundation aims to manage and utilize effectively that which has been entrusted to it over multiple generations of the Kirby family. It takes pride in the long-term relationships it has established with its grantee partners.
