Rust Family Foundation

The Rust Family Foundation was established in 1998, based on a legacy from Margaret Dole Rust (1918-1995) specifically intended for charitable purposes. Since then, the Foundation has made a number of donations yearly to various organizations, and has continued to increase its financial assets. This has allowed the Foundation to plan a wider range of goals for upcoming grants.

Between 1998 and 2014, the primary focus of Foundation donations were in the following areas:

                                                                                                               .

1) World health and hunger relief, including both worldwide and local projects; 

2) Cancer research;

3) Veterans’ assistance;

4) Animal welfare;

5) Nature centers and wildlife preservation; 

6) Schools and literacy programs;

7) Art and archaeology museums, libraries, and historic preservation.

.

During 2015-6, the Foundation continued funding in each of these areas, but also added further emphasis on donations to projects in archaeology and related research and exploration.
