Everett Koeller founded the Charitable Foundation of the Family in 1989 as an avenue to perform grass roots work in our community. His objective remains today as we strive to maximize donors’ contributions to helping those in need of our help. Over the years the Charitable Foundation of the Family has been able to focus its charitable giving to helping those that were not being helped by other community resources. The foundation is committed to maintaining flexible funding criteria to fill the gaps left by other welfare organizations that have understandably more specific program criteria. Our objective is to assist based on a real need and not on on specific criteria. Our supporters are made up of family, friends, business associates and those that believe in the work we are doing.

The American Chestnut Foundation has one simple goal: to restore the American chestnut to its native forests. Destroyed by an imported blight many consider the worst environmental disaster of the twentieth century, the American chestnut was virtually eliminated from the eastern hardwood forest between 1904 and 1940. With its loss, wildlife populations plummeted; never to return to former levels. With recent developments in genetics, there is promise that this critically important wildlife food source and timber tree will again become part of our natural heritage. To make this possibility a reality, a group of prominent scientists, in 1983, established the non-profit research-oriented American Chestnut Foundation (TACF). The Foundation's mission is simple: to restore the American chestnut as an integral part of the eastern forest ecosystem. TACF is employing traditional plant breeding techniques, backed by advanced research methods, to develop a blight resistant American chestnut tree. TACF is restoring a species - and in the process, creating a template for restoration of other tree and plant species.
