Background

Bob and Judy Astley have lived in Waterloo Region for years and have been active members of the community. One of the many ways in which to give back to the community is through a family foundation.

Therefore, Bob and Judy along with their children, Derek Astley and Jennifer Astley-Kinsey, created the Astley Family Foundation in 2005. After research and discussion it was discovered that all four of the founding members were interested in helping youth realize their potential. They also believed that there were relatively few funders for worthy programs serving youth.
