Beginning with its first
grant to Columbia University in 1951, the Frueauff Foundation has supported private four year colleges and
universities. This aid takes many forms.
Presently, numerous students are attending colleges on endowed scholarships established by the Foundation twenty to thirty
years ago. Of the twenty-eight schools receiving scholarship grants in 2000, many allocate a percentage of the funds to
scholarship endowment, thus guaranteeing monies for future students.
With the rapid advancement in technology, educational institutions are in need of funding for office, dormitory, and library
automation systems and software. The Foundation has provided funds for assisting in such projects.
Recently, institutions of higher education have begun various programs in the area of Service Learning. Supporting persons
leaving welfare, preparing students for employment in non-profit agencies, tutoring at-risk youth, and revitalizing neighborhoods
are just some of the creative things taking place in colleges and universities today.
Although large grants are not usually given, Foundation funds have been given to support building campaigns and major fund
drives. In most instances, these CAFF grants are used to meet challenges from other foundations.
Of the original five agencies receiving awards, four were social service organizations.
The growing needs of such organizations continue to command the attention of the Foundation today. The enormous
problems facing American's young people, the economic conditions in many of our cities, and the numerous issues confronting
families are all topics of concern to the Foundation. Welfare-to-Work programs, creative approaches to working with at-risk youth,
inadequate daycare systems, and economic development initiatives are receiving attention from the Trustees today.
Since its founding, hospitals and health agencies have been recipients of Foundation awards. Equipment, outreach programs,
staff positions, screening and education materials are just a few examples of grants given. Health education programs for at-risk
children and their parents, support for the critically ill, AIDS/HIV education programs, and nursing scholarships have all received
awards in the past decade. Specific institutions and specific programs, rather than national organizations, are usually given priority.
