The Board of Replogle Foundation focuses its giving
on the following areas:
- Programs addressing the needs of youth and
children living in, or at risk of, long-term
poverty (especially children of inner-city residents
and migrant workers). Of particular interest are programs
for teen pregnancy prevention, counseling, broad-spectrum
social services, and other programs that help young
people improve their own lives.
- Programs to improve educational opportunities for
inner city children, including enrichment
programs in the arts and sciences, alternative schools,
after-school tutoring and mentoring, and scholarship
programs.
- Programs for affordable and supportive housing
that reach groups of people frequently left out of
traditional shelter programs, including single mothers
and families with children, the elderly, ex-offenders,
and youth. An emphasis is placed on programs that
enable individuals to help themselves and become self-sufficient
over the long-term.
- Projects, lectures, and fellowships in classical
archaeology, particularly in efforts to enable
scholars to cross disciplines and specialties, and
thus broaden their horizons.
- Projects and institutions working for the conservation
of maps and globes, and dissemination
and education in the area of geography.
- Luther I. Replogle Award for Management
Improvement at the U.S. Department of State
to reward individuals who through their managerial
ability have contributed to the effective administration
of the Department and its programs.
The Replogle Foundation also has a modest budget for
support of the arts. In addition, the Directors are
able to make a small number of discretionary grants.
