Foundation Update: 

Bruce Hirsch will retire as executive director of the Clarence E. Heller Charitable Foundation at the end of 2024. With Bruce’s departure, the Board of Trustees has engaged Third Plateau (formerly Hirsch Philanthropy Partners, no relation to Bruce) to assume full management and operations of the Foundation since April 2024. In this transition year, the Foundation has paused the open Letter of Inquiry (LOI) submission process. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period of transition. Please come back to our website for future updates about grantmaking.
