About the Foundation
The Paul G. Duke Foundation, a Supporting Foundation of The Columbus Foundation, was established in 1983. The Duke Foundation carries forward the charitable tradition started by Paul G. Duke, a Miami County businessman and philanthropist, who grew his local Duke Garden Centers into a national lawn and garden service, ChemLawn.
The Paul G. Duke Foundation continues to carry out its founder’s mission, to be a catalyst to enhance the quality of life in the Miami County area, through its focus on programs benefiting children, young adults, and families.
