Our Connection:

Board Discretionary Grant. The Skees Family Foundation began supporting the Dayton International Peace Museum in 2009, and we have continued our grants ever since. However, we don’t only support them financially. Two of our family members residing in Dayton have also given copious amounts of their time to this organization, whether it be through secretarial work, carpentry, baking, or advice-giving. We’re pretty sure the rest of our issues won’t get anywhere until we achieve peace.
