R.C. Durr (1919-2007) was a generous entrepreneur with a deep compassion for the less fortunate. The R.C. Durr Foundation honors his legacy by supporting efforts to improve the quality of life in Northern Kentucky, focusing especially on education, social services, and community development.
The R.C. Durr Foundation Grant supports initiatives that aim to enhance the quality of life in the larger Northern Kentucky region. Primary focus areas include education, social services, and community development, with secondary emphasis on health care, particularly public health care. Priority is also given to new or innovative projects that demonstrate potential for long-term impact, collaboration, self-sufficiency, effectiveness, and innovation. These projects should contribute to making the Northern Kentucky community a better place to live, learn, and work.
