Founders Mike and Mary Terry believe that every child deserves to have the opportunity to succeed regardless of their zip code and that every person needs a safe place to call home. Their values of faith, generosity, and service are at the very core of The Mike & Mary Terry Family Foundation.

Since that first grant, the Foundation established its vision to eliminate barriers for the most vulnerable in our community, via four areas of focus.
