MISSION
to provide educational opportunities
to Thurston County residents.


Olympia Tumwater Foundation is a private
501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. It was established in 1950
by local citizens and descendents of Leopold
F. Schmidt, founder of the Olympia Brewing Company.
The Foundation is the largest, private source of
scholarships for Thurston County high school students
attending institutions of higher learning in the state of
Washington. Since 1966, the program has aided more than 350 local students with
approximately
$850,000 applied toward their
continuing
educations.
The Foundation owns and operates Tumwater
Falls Park and the historic Schmidt House, making
them available for public use and enjoyment. |
