Corpwell Foundation’s mission is to Leaving significant tracts — of place, memory, and human dignity — for the future..

Following this mission, the organization assists individuals and/or organizations in various aspects of accomplishing their goals to preserve, educate, and improve communities.

The Foundation focuses on education, research, and support to assist community leaders in rebuilding their communities or offering needed resources.

History:

The CorpWell Foundation was founded on a simple but powerful belief: places matter—and when we preserve them, we preserve the people, stories, and communities they were built to serve. 

Since the early 2000s, CorpWell Foundation has operated at the intersection of historic preservation, education, and community well-being. Through projects such as the Oasis Institute, Sea Captain Foster Homestead, and Chapel 1871, the Foundation demonstrates that historic buildings are not relics — they are living resources capable of teaching, healing, and connecting communities. 

Through preservation initiatives and innovative community-based programs such as the OASIS model, CorpWell Foundation ensures that historic places remain living resources that address modern human needs — including connection, dignity, and aging in community.
