Welcome to the Doll Family Foundation
The Doll Family Foundation was created in 1993 from an inheritance that Henry C. Doll received from his father, Edward C. Doll.
The Doll family established the Foundation’s mission and grantmaking priorities through the engagement of Henry, his late wife Mary, and their four children. Henry Doll now serves in an emeritus role, and the four adult children have been joined by their children as members of the next generation of family. The Foundation continues to support the empowerment of low-income women, the promotion of philanthropy, and fostering stronger environmental policies.
The Foundation focuses its grantmaking on the communities of Astoria, Oregon; Bozeman, Montana; Cleveland, Ohio; Portland, Oregon; and Seattle, Washington.
