Quimby Family Foundation

Who We Are Growing Human Wholeness by fostering stronger relationships between people and nature. The Quimby Family Foundation was formed in 2004 by Roxanne Quimby – an entrepreneur, environmentalist, and philanthropist with the vision to advance wilderness values and to increase access to the arts throughout Maine. In 2005, the Quimby family began accepting proposals and awarding grants to Maine-based nonprofits focused on the arts and the environment. The Board of Directors and Advisory Board is composed of Quimby family members spanning three generations. It is a great priviledge for our family to be engaged in this work and to learn from inspirational leaders across the state of Maine. Our family considers the work of the foundation as one of our greatest opportunities and responsibilities. We look forward to working with visionary organizations for years to come. Today, our work is led by Executive Director Hannah Quimby, Program Director Zak Klein and Operations and Program Coordinator, Keelan Ingwersen. Our mission is to grow human wholeness by fostering stronger relationships between people and nature. To support the presence of nature in our lives and communities, our work supports grantees in two primary focus areas: Movement and Nourishment.
