Our Founders
Ed and Darlene Lowe established the Edward Lowe Foundation in 1985 as a national nonprofit organization. Their vision was to support entrepreneurship and land stewardship as strategies to make communities more vibrant places to live, work and play.
Both Ed and Darlene were entrepreneurs who believed that small businesses were the backbone of our country’s economy. They also had a great love of the land and appreciation for historic preservation.
