A Holistic Approach
Mission
The Zeist Foundation embraces a holistic approach to address the needs of underserved children in the areas of human services, education, and arts & culture. The Foundation seeks opportunities to partner with reputable organizations that are effective, collaborative and adaptive.
Vision
The Zeist Foundation enhances the lives of underserved children by increasing access to and quality of opportunities to reach their full potential. We envision a Georgia where a child’s zip code does not exclude them from the opportunities necessary to realize their full potential in life.
2022 – A YEAR OF TRANSITION
A Zeist Foundation change moment and addressing its 2022 grantmaking process.
“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can….Life is no brief candle to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
George Bernard ShawOur Legacy
In addition to its philanthropic mission, the Zeist Foundation strives to honor the extraordinary members of the Brumley family who so willingly shared their passions, talents, and treasures with the broader community. May the legacies of these precious twelve loved ones, who tragically lost their lives on July 19, 2003 in a plane crash near Nairobi, Kenya, live on through this work forever.
