Legacy Fund

The legacy of Howard and Geraldine is the bedrock of the Foundation. Their philanthropic passions, commitment to community, and spirit of generosity created this Foundation and have guided its ethos of giving for over fifty years.

 Since Howard and Geraldine’s passing, the Foundation which bears their name also reflects their philanthropic legacy with a dedicated Fund that supports the communities and causes most important to them.

“We inherited the legacy of giving to the needy from our parents, who, with their limited means, always had money to give to charity. It is important to realize that our obligation in life is not only to ourselves, but to think of others who need help.”

— Howard & Geraldine Polinger, in a letter to their grandchildren
