The Friese Foundation

The Friese Foundation is a nonprofit organization inspired by Donald Friese Sr.’s life-long commitment to improving the lives of those around him. Just as Mr. Friese has described himself as being “in the business of people,” the Foundation is committed to providing impactful and life-changing opportunities, as well as promoting healing and wellness for underserved individuals and communities. By partnering with charities that share these goals, we hope to bridge the gap from hopelessness to wholeness. The Friese Foundation supports organizations that help low-income families, unhoused individuals, and other communities in need. These include programs serving veterans; youth programs and education assistance; animal rescue and welfare organizations; and organizations that provide physical and mental health services.
