Foundation

The Hoffman Family Foundation is a modest effort to support organizations doing work that is personally important to Jean and her children, Cooper and Luna. We have focused on supporting community, education and culture and ensuring access to reproductive healthcare in Maine. We also support the long-term health and sustainability of the ocean and wilderness.
