The Samuel Lawrence Foundation strives to promote human interaction and encourage broader community access to science, education, and the arts.
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. Through evidence-based advocacy, community engagement, and educational outreach, we work to ensure transparent decision-making processes and comprehensive long-term solutions that will protect public health and environmental integrity for current and future generations. Samuel's belief in the power of informed, engaged communities guides our mission to create lasting positive change where it matters most.
The San Onofre Situation
SLF directs attention to almost 2,000 tons of high-burn radioactive waste, improperly stranded at the now-shuttered San Onofre nuclear power plant. We bring vigilant scientific inquiry and community education to this critical issue.
Working Together
SLF operates under the basic principles of justice, equity and inclusion to effect positive change and growth across the pillars of science, education and the arts. Our planet needs a peaceful and environmentally sustainable future.
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.
