Founded The Service Family Foundation

Using the proceeds from the sale of their company, Michelle and Bill used the proceeds to establish The Service Foundation, dedicated to creating lasting change in the communities of the Pacific Northwest.

Launched a capital campaign in partnership with the YMCA of Eugene

Michelle and Bill provided early seed funding, later assumed by the Foundation, helping to successfully raise over $47 million for the Eugene Family YMCA—the largest capital campaign in Lane County outside of the University of Oregon and Riverbend Hospital.

Completed the construction of the Eugene Family YMCA

The state-of-the-art facility opened to the public in December 2023 and was designed to meet the evolving needs of Lane County for years to come. Following this milestone, The Service Family Foundation began to pivot toward other major projects across the Pacific Northwest.

The Service Family Foundation embarked on the next phase of its philanthropic initiatives

Looking to the future, The Service Family Foundation has structured a new grant-making process to support organizations doing important work in Oregon and Southwest Washington. The foundation continues to prioritize community building throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.
