About The Martha-Ellen Tye Foundation
Our Mission
The mission of the Martha-Ellen Tye Foundation is to perpetuate the generosity and giving philosophy of Martha-Ellen Tye by providing support for and working with programs, projects, and organizations that are striving to make a better life for the people of Marshalltown, Iowa, and San Antonio, Texas and their surrounding areas.
The Martha-Ellen Tye Foundation particularly seeks to address the educational, artistic, cultural, youth, human services, and community needs in these geographic areas, and prefers to support initiatives that enable recipient organizations to build their own capacities to produce significant, measurable, change.
Board Members
The board now consists of ten members: five are family members and five are from the Marshalltown community. The complete board meets twice a year in Marshalltown and the individual committees meet up to four times a year.
