The Ehlert Family Foundation

Who
We Are

The Ehlert Family Foundation stands with the most vulnerable—offering hope to those without a home, healing for those suffering from substance use disorder, and guidance to youth searching for a brighter path. We extend that same compassion to animals, supporting the care and protection of cats and dogs in need. At the same time, we protect the seas and safeguard our environment, so that both people and the planet can flourish for generations to come.
