Welcome to the Arthur B. Schultz Foundation
RARE ecotourism project: Rio Platano U.N. Biosphere Reserve, Honduras. RARE’S mission is to protect wildlands of globally significant biodiversity by enabling local people to benefit economically from conservation.
ABSF is dedicated to improving the quality of life on earth through support of international microenterprise, global understanding, and disabled mobility solutions.
International Microenterprise
We consider funding a variety of small-scale microenterprise projects that subscribe to the general principles of social and/or environmental payback. ABSF firmly believes business has an obligation to be socially and environmentally responsible. Learn more >>
Global Understanding
Our objective is to promote peace, learning, and understanding among peoples of the world through opportunities for progressive education and dialogue, especially among students of the younger generation. Our current focus addresses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the divide between Western and Middle Eastern cultures. Learn more >>
Disabled Mobility
We hope to address the overwhelming need for wheelchairs in the developing world by supporting a variety of approaches to distribute free wheelchairs. One approach is to create greater in-country capabilities for wheelchair manufacturing and repair, which also provides desperately needed employment opportunities for disenfranchised persons with disabilities.

LATEST NEWS: Building partnerships yields the RoughRider Wheelchair Project
We are proud to introduce the RoughRider Wheelchair Project, an idea that the Arthur B. Schultz Foundation has been developing for years to bring to reality. To address the overwhelming need for wheelchairs in Vietnam, ABSF has partnered with American and Norwegian wheelchair design and manufacturing companies to enable a Vietnamese wheelchair manufacturer to build and distribute rugged, easily repairable, and ultra affordable wheelchairs to disabled Vietnamese.
