About the Samuel Lawrence Foundation (SLF)
Samuel Lawrence distinguished himself not through traditional markers of business or professional success, but through his extraordinary dedication to community enrichment. As a consummate musician with the community orchestra and passionate humanitarian, he exemplified how service and artistic expression could transform lives.
Building upon Samuel's collaborative approach to community building, the Samuel Lawrence Foundation operates as a platform for good, fostering strategic partnerships and developing innovative programs that address critical challenges facing our communities.

Working Together
SLF operates under the basic principles of justice, equity and inclusion to effect growth across the pillars of science, education and the arts.
We provide a forum for artists, academics, businesses, and community leaders to bring conversation and solutions to real problems. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation has sponsored international conferences and seminars to bring together public officials, academics, the community, and leading industry experts regarding nuclear safety.
Our planet needs a peaceful and environmentally sustainable future.
