The Ryan Harth Foundation reached two important milestones this spring: we are now officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and our new website is live at ryanharthfoundation.org.
These steps strengthen our ability to serve children who have lost a parent — through scholarships, camp support, and meaningful community programs inspired by Ryan’s life and legacy.
A Home for Our Mission Online
Our website is built to grow with the foundation. Visitors can learn about our programs, read stories of impact, explore upcoming events, apply for support, refer a family, and make secure donations online. We’ve also improved how we communicate with supporters and partners through official @ryanharthfoundation.org email addresses for our board and volunteers.
Board Leadership Grows
At our April board meeting, we unanimously welcomed Don Schmid as our ninth board member. Don brings deep experience in event marketing and will help us expand the reach of our fundraisers and community gatherings.
We’re grateful to every board member, advisor, volunteer, and donor who has helped the foundation move from a memorial effort to a sustainable mission-driven organization. There is much more ahead — and we’re ready for it.
