Bob and Susan have been active in community affairs, along with civic and religious organizations throughout their lives. Their service on numerous boards and professional associations provides a grounding for how non-profit institutions should be managed to be successful. This experience is used in evaluating whether an organization is eligible to receive a grant. Financial sustainability and community impact are requisites for organizations receiving Gadomski Foundation gra

The Foundation was formed in 2007 and is a private foundation. Due to aggressive grant making in recent years, the Foundation is well ahead of distributing its target of 5.5% in annual grants. In 2023 almost all assets of the foundation were transferred to the LVCF. The Foundation, through its donor-advised fund at the LVCF, will remain committed to ongoing support of charitable organizations through several multi-year grants; this currently limits new gifts to organizations not previously a grantee. Therefore, at this time, we are only providing grants to new organizations where The Gadomski Foundation, through its donor-advised fund at the LVCF, can make a notable impact.
