The Essie B. & William Earl Glenn Foundation for Better Living
Where family bonds drive community impact.
The Glenn Family Foundation was chartered and commissioned as a sibling inspired, family-focused, community-based organization to honor the rich legacy of our Mother (Essie), and Father (William), and their commitment to service. Our organization endeavors to create thriving communities and eliminate barriers impacting children, youth, and families.

Promoting Resilience
The Glenn Family Foundation’s executive board founded the ACEs Awareness Foundation to help increase the community’s understanding of trauma and the dose effect of toxic adverse childhood experiences on health outcomes, choices and later-life behaviors. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is the acronym used to describe various forms of abuse, neglect and other traumatic experiences.

I was proud to join the Glenn Family Foundation and participate in the I-HEAL Community Wellness Day on behalf of Quest Diagnostics and Quest for Health Equity. The large number of people that Quest was able to serve during just a few short hours is a testament to the solid reputation and trust that the Glenn Family Foundation has built within their community.
We often say in the I-HEAL trainings that what has happened in the past doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what’s in your future. The work of the Glenn Family Foundation is not just about benevolence. It’s actually a human imperative, it’s a moral imperative.
