Supporting charitable organizations and promoting philanthropic involvement since 1993 when the Auer Family Foundation was founded by Peggy and Ed Auer.

An important component of the primary mission was to encourage charitable volunteerism by their ten children and their spouses. The Foundation provides financial support to organizations benefiting from their volunteer involvement, and to encourage charitable giving in the family, the Foundation offers matching donations to charitable organizations.

Peggy and Ed Auer passed away in 2010. The family continues the Foundations’ work in their memory. The board and supporting staff are all members of the Auer family and have included their children, their children’s spouses, and many of their twenty-five grandchildren. Board members serve a five year term, and are drawn from the family ranks.
