About Us
The Boedecker Foundation is a private, non-operating foundation with a broad charter to empower communities and inspire positive change around the world. George "Boe" Boedecker, Jr. is a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist who is extremely passionate about utilizing his knowledge and expertise to positively affect the lives of people in communities across the globe. Established in 2009, the creation of the Boedecker Foundation successfully combines George's various philanthropic endeavors, (including the Anthony H. Kruse Foundation), and ensure a legacy of giving for years to come. As the Foundation strives to meet and address critical societal needs, the programs and initiatives addressed will continue to build upon the works begun by the Anthony H. Kruse Foundation, which was created to honor the memory of Anthony, George's close personal friend and former business partner. Utilizing a portion of George's personal wealth, coupled with an estate left to him after Anthony passed away suddenly in 2006, the creation of the Boedecker Foundation has enabled George to create a powerful outlet for change. One that seeks to improve the lives of others by demonstrating how being of service to others, and investing in the unfailing potential of people, can truly make the world a better place for each one of us.
