The Rider-Pool Foundation, through the many fine organizations that serve the Lehigh Valley, touches the lives of those individuals that Mrs. Pool was committed to serving during her lifetime.
The focused support of The Rider-Pool Foundation in education, human services, culture and art, and community development closely mirrored Mrs. Pool, a woman who was foremost a teacher, a musician, and a strong proponent of reacting to the needs of the community around her.

Reverend Larry Pickens – Ecumenical Director, Lehigh Conference of ChurchesThe training and cross collaboration from the Collective Impact Fellowship was so powerful that it has fundamentally changed how I develop projects within my program and consider how to be most effective in community collaborations.
