Our Mission Has Been Accomplished

Thank you

Twenty-seven years of grassroots philanthropy has been a learning experience that will stay with all of us. Established with the intention to honor and remember our parents and their values, we found that the over arching accomplishment was learning to respect each other's growth and independence. To that end, we agreed that the time has arrived for the Harpley Foundation's closure.


To all of the people who we have met and the grants we reviewed, the communities we empowered, the arts groups, the children's welfare organizations, the animal welfare organizations, the schools etc., we all thank you from our hearts for the selfless, caring and professional work you have done for so many, all the while scrambling for funding.  

You are the hidden pillars of our communities. Thank you!

To borrow sentiment from, the musical Wicked's song, "For Good":


"Because we knew you....we have been changed for good ".
