Low Family Foundation We See You Grants
The Low Family Foundation (LFF) We See You grant awards organizations that align with the values and interests of the Low Family Foundation’s founders: Joseph, Wilma and Rosemary Low. The LFF seeks to recognize and support the work of nonprofit organizations by expanding opportunities and supporting critical needs in and around Berrien County, MI.
The Low Family Foundation was established in 2023 through the generosity of Joseph N. and Rosemary E. Low. Joe practiced law all his life in Niles, Michigan and, with his first wife Wilma, had two sons, Joseph and John. Wilma was Joe’s legal secretary for almost 25 years and a major reason for his career and financial success. After her passing in 1995, Joe married her sister Rosemary and hence Rose was an aunt and stepmother to the sons. Joe passed in 2013, and Rose survived him until 2020. Joe, Wilma and Rose were each integral to the establishment of the Foundation.
Mission
The Joseph and Rosemary Low Family Foundation is created exclusively for charitable, religious or educational purposes including, for such purposes, making distributions to organizations that qualify as “not-for-profits.”
The Foundation makes distribution grants in keeping with their many discussions with the Founders about their intentions. The Advisory Committee focuses on charities of known interest to the Founders: for example, Rose loved cats, Wilma was a supporter of nature centers and gardens, and Joe was interested in history. The Foundation generally limits its giving to a 100-mile radius of Berrien County, Michigan with a focus on meeting needs in Berrien County.
