Albert Ayers, a resident of Sandy Ridge, left a generous bequest to the Foundation as an investment for the future.  His generosity and dedication to philanthropy will help ensure the perpetuity of Centre Foundation's discretionary funds, which are used to meet the changing needs of Centre County residents. In a unique role as philanthropic leaders of the community, foundation board members and staff are equipped to understand the changing needs of the community and to focus grants where they can make the most impact over the years.
