Mission

Since its founding in 1989, the Francis J. Dixon Foundation has provided tuition assistance grants for Lebanon County residents who enroll as full-time students at the Lebanon Campus of Harrisburg Area Community College. The foundation also provides scholarships to LPN's working for the Good Samaritan health System that are enrolled in an LPN to RN program at the Lebanon Campus of Harrisburg Area Community College. The foundation also provides grants to Lebanon County based, non-sectarian charitable organizations and programs that focus on education, health care, and community service. The foundation also seeks to participate in projects that maintain or improve the quality of life in Lebanon County through community building, community infrastructure, and opportunities for youth. The foundation also makes a limited number of grants to projects of special interest to the Dixon family and its board of directors.
