Bucks County Foundation is proud to serve as a grant partner with The Oscar Hammerstein Museum & Theatre Education Center.

Spring 2026 grant awards include a leadership gift to the Oscar Hammerstein Museum and Theatre Education Center who is responding to the recognized, pressing community need to preserve Oscar Hammerstein’s historic property in Doylestown, PA, where he lived and worked, as an inclusive, accessible hub for cultural enrichment and education serving the Bucks County community.

The $10,000 grant supports the restoration of the deteriorated balcony and porch at Highland Farm. Both areas are historically significant, as Hammerstein composed many iconic works pacing along the balcony or contemplating on the porch.

Hammerstein Museum is honored to be the recipient of a generous grant from the Bucks County Foundation to support upcoming renovations to Highland Farm! We are extremely grateful to all of our donors, community organizations and individuals who are helping us build a world-class institution in the heart of Bucks County where future theatre creators will uncover and amplify their own unique, artistic voices for generations to come.

It feels great to end a work week with excitement- I'm still smiling from last night's Scholarship Reception at Delaware Valley University where, through a generous estate gift, Bucks County Foundation provides yearly scholarship funding to help lessen the financial burden of higher education.

Just last year, the Happ Grover Scholarship Fund supported 25 students with a total of $44,000 in scholarship money! Wow!

Students are majoring in everything from Interdisciplinary Studies to Counseling Psychology and Sustainable Agricultural Systems to Writing and Literary Studies and so much more!

Pictured here are 3 dynamic Delaware Valley University students with Lucy Steitz, CFP (R), BCF Board member, and myself.

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT!
