About Us
The mission of the McGuire Foundation is to educate the public via the arts and through educational and mentoring programs.
The arts are generally accessible to all, but a deeper appreciation of the arts occurs in societies that have the economic freedom to enjoy galleries and museums. As such the foundation seeks to cultivate, inspire, educate and support men and women in their efforts to become a pattern of good works for the benefit of society and the betterment of mankind.
The foundation will give awards and scholarships to individuals in elementary school up to the doctoral levels. Activities, education, and publications will be consistent with the Christian faith and will endeavor to bring glory and honor to God.
We believe spiritual growth, academic achievement, selflessness, philanthropy and excellence create men and women of renown. The Elect, Lights, Stewards…. Ambassadors. We believe in cultivating these individuals and supporting them on their journey alongside their loved ones for the benefit of humanity.
Personal Mentoring
The McGuire Foundation uses a holistic approach to mentoring believing that great relationships will yield greater results. The ambassadors are surrounded by a network of interested parities who are invested in their success.
Holistic Philosophy
The Foundation believes everyone can achieve great success so long as mind, body, soul and spirit are properly aligned. Much work is done outside a biblical framework leading to poor outcomes. By encouraging Ambassadors to walk according to the Spirit we ensure successful outcomes no matter where they move.
In 1987, Dr. McGuire was awarded the Frank Sullivan Human Relations Award by the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers. The Foundation’s scholarship program is fruit from the seed plant all those years ago. The Ambassadors we support carry on this legacy as change agents in a broken world.
The Museum
The museum collects, creates and preserves educational materials, publications, literature, research, exhibits and works of art in order to educate people about vision, the eye, the profession of optometry while advancing the profession of optometry and inspiring the community to individual excellence and public service.
