Mission
Aaron and Lillie Straus’ clearly focused philanthropic vision, to give children protection, education, and opportunity continues today in a contemporary context with the Foundation’s support of policies and programs which connect fragile families and children to the avenues of hope and advantage which can lead to better futures.
The Foundation continues to focus its work almost exclusively on the Baltimore metropolitan region where Aaron and Lillie Straus lived, worked, and invested their philanthropic time and capital.
