For more than 50 years, the Foundation for the Tri-State has connected generous people with meaningful opportunities to strengthen the community they call home. “At its core, philanthropy is about investing in a better future,” said Kathryn Lamp, president and CEO of the Foundation for the Tri-State. The Innovation Fellowship is an investment in those people.” The Fellowship reflects an important belief shared by the Foundation: communities become stronger when the people serving them have opportunities to learn, collaborate, and grow.
