About the Bonner Foundation

Since it was activated in 1989, the Foundation has become one of the nation's largest privately-funded service scholarship programs and a philanthropic leader in the anti-hunger movement.

The story of the Foundation is the story of Bertram and Corella Bonner and their desire to "give back to the Lord what the Lord has given [them]." They wanted their gifts to provide a lasting and meaningful impact on society and approached the creation of both the Crisis Ministry and the Bonner Scholar Program deliberately and thoughtfully.
