Our Mission
The MDL Foundation is dedicated to fostering a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. We firmly believe that strong communities are the foundation of any society.
Our Purpose
We are a non-profit organization established exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes. We achieve our mission by supporting local organizations with similar aims. All distributions are made to organizations that qualify as exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.
​
We are committed to using our resources responsibly. No part of our net earnings benefits our members, trustees, officers, or other private individuals, except for reasonable compensation for services rendered. We do not engage in propaganda or attempt to influence legislation, and we do not participate in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office.

Our Commitment
The MDL Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors who bring diverse perspectives and expertise to our organization. Our board members are deeply committed to our mission and work together to guide our strategy, ensure effective use of our resources, and uphold the highest standards of integrity and accountability.
