Who We Are
Enriching the quality of life of those living in Northeast Ohio
The Andrews Foundation, created by Mabel Shields Andrews in 1951, is a private family foundation, based in Northeast Ohio. The foresight of Mrs. Andrews, in allowing a range of flexibility in grant-making, has enabled the Andrews Foundation to thrive into the 21st Century. To this day, the direct descendants of Mrs. Andrews remain actively involved in the foundation.
Our Mission
Supporting our community through grant-making, to advance & enrich the quality of life of those living in Northeast Ohio. We are guided by the ever-changing needs of our community, allowing our grant 'investments' to have maximum impact.
