Public Service
Irwin Farms Foundation
Emerson’s observation rightly endures: “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” Serving others is, indeed, living well.
Foundation Funds in Public Service
The Foundation both solicits proposals for new funds and accepts gifts to support existing funds in public service, broadly defined to include national defense, public safety, government service of all kinds, public education, and social services.
