Welcome to the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation’s website. This section offers information about our founders, Bob and Florence Deutsch, about the remarkable career of our namesake – Dr. Robert W. Deutsch – and about the values and interests that guide our philanthropic activities and decisions.
Dr. Deutsch spent his entire adult life at the leading edges of science and technology. He shared with Florence a deep devotion to education and to advancing the welfare of others. Dr. Deutsch established the foundation in 1988 as a way to give back to others and to support these interests. The foundation is committed to sustaining their philanthropic legacy and adapting it to current challenges of our society.
If you have not had any prior contact with the foundation, we recommend you take the time to learn about our founders, about Dr. Deutsch’s career, and about the values and interests that guide our activities. This helps to explain what we do, how we do it, and should enable you to evaluate whether contacting us may be worthwhile.
