Welcome to The Honickman Foundation, dedicated to the support of projects
that promote the arts, health, education, social change and heritage.
We fund a small group of issues and organizations where we feel we can truly
make a difference. We look for projects in the community where we can work
collaboratively and where we can be hands-on and stay very engaged.
