Mission

• Promote positive outcomes for young children, ages newborn to six, with particular focus on those with a disadvantaged socio-economic start. Our first priority is to support programs that facilitate systemic change for those children and their families.
• Protect the environment and improve the quality of life on Long Island and in Maryland.
• Strengthen the organizational effectiveness of nonprofit institutions that work on these issues through capacity building and leadership development.
• The Foundation focuses its work in the places where Rauch family members have lived and worked - Long Island and Maryland.
