Mission & Values

Mission

 

Inspired by Mr. and Mrs. Scheidel’s generosity, life experiences, and their love of family, the Scheidel Foundation focuses on supporting programs that promote college readiness and completion and as well as programs that advance the use of integrative medicine. The Foundation also serves as a vehicle for Scheidel Foundation Trustees to explore personal philanthropic interests through its discretionary grant program.
