Welcome to The Russell Family Foundation

"The eyes are the window to the soul."
                          A Traditional Proverb

There's truth to that old proverb. So much so that with poetic license I'd say:

"The website is the window into the Foundation's heart."

Welcome to our website for The Russell Family Foundation. We hope it serves as a friendly and accessible portal to the Foundation's values, people, programs and community partners--all of which we hold dear. Beyond this window the "lights are on" and we warmly welcome you inside. 

This is a place for:
    • sharing stories about what matters;
    • connecting with others in common purpose;
    • listening and learning;
    • seeking out support and resources.
We are a values-driven foundation working toward a "sustainable and peaceful world for people, places and communities." Please come in, follow your curiosity. 

Richard Woo, Chief Executive Officer
