The Richard Donchian Foundation provides funds to nonprofits whose programs result in the strengthening of the human spirit and enhancement of personal integrity. The Foundation channels most of its financial resources toward charitable organizations concentrating on character development through leadership training, literacy, primary education, business integrity, spiritual enrichment and ethics. Every individual can become physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually stronger, resulting in a more confident and scrupulous lifestyle. The primary objective of the Donchian Foundation's grant making activities is to ensure that its ultimate recipients become empowered to strengthen and build up their families and communities -- passing onto others that which was given to them.
