Looking for a New Home!

Farrell Foundation is on the Move!

The growth and popularity of the Farrell Foundation programs have been nothing short of inspiring. With so many fantastic programs and participants, we’re finding ourselves in need of a bit more elbow room. To keep up with this momentum, we’re actively working with real estate professionals to locate a new space that will perfectly suit our expanding needs.

If you happen to know of any available properties or hear about opportunities that might be a good fit, please let us know. Your insights and connections could make a big difference as we search for our next home. The Foundation’s Board of Director’s goal is to continue to lease space and not own a building. We need the space and parking to adequately accommodate our growing program.

We’re excited about beginning a new chapter together.

Thanks so much for your support and for being part of our vibrant community! Please contact us at the Foundation if you are aware of any potential space!

Drawn to quiet moments shaped by time and light, his photographs reflect memory, resilience, and the traces time leaves behind.
