Our Mission
Established to preserve and further the legacy of Jim and Anne Dollard, both of whom sincerely believed in the dignity of every person as well as every person’s capacity to do good for others. Married for more than 50 years and parents to six children, Jim and Anne certainly helped to make the world a better place by being selfless, respectful and kind. They subscribed to an ancient notion: “…a generous heart, kind speech and a life of service and compassion are the things that renew humanity.” We hope the work of this foundation keeps that notion alive by doing good in the present.
Annie
Grace and comfort radiated from her in the most effortless way imaginable. Most importantly, she never hesitated to share those gifts with anyone. Her empathy and compassion ran so very deep and reciting a list of her meaningful deeds for others would keep us here for several days.
— Billy Dollard
Jim
Jim was such a gifted man-truly a teacher and mentor to the core - the consummate educator. He took great joy in living. He was fearless in his dedication to all of our well-being. He wanted to make a positive difference in the lives of children, and he surely did that.
