The Samuel Lawrence Foundation (SLF) strives to promote human interaction and encourage broader community access to science, education, and the arts. SLF believes breakthrough happens by working at the intersection of science, education, and the arts. Standing alone, each area fulfills a vital function. Standing together, they provide for the well-being of the earth and its people. SLF acts as a “community engagement bridge,” connecting local and international groups to move forward with bold vision and actions to address and impact some of the most pressing needs facing our nation and the world.
