Dedicated to Charitable Causes in Newton & the Greater Boston Area
Conceived in 2005 and established in 2021, the Trust seeks to honor George & Louise’s legacy by continuing their important charitable work in and around Newton, Massachusetts, with a focus on education, social welfare, and providing people in need with the means to help themselves and improve their lives.
The Trust’s focus is local, but it is flexible globally.
At the discretion of our 5 board members, we utilize nearly $10m in assets to help improve the local Newton and Greater Boston community as well as global causes that were dear to George & Louise.
Who were the Hausers?
George & Louise Hauser lived in Newton, MA for decades and were strong supporters of the local community through social justice, education, and equality of opportunity organizations. Louise was a lifelong teacher and George was a researcher, professor, and Purple Heart recipient. Each year the trust allocates hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity in their name.
“It is a priority of the founders to provide 1) seed funding to new organizations and new programs of existing organizations and 2) grants to organizations that have as their main goal helping people help themselves. The founders request that these organizations be located in Newton, Brookline, Cambridge, and areas of close proximity.”
