OUR MISSION

On March 2, 1996 Tyler Linfert Rigg was killed tragically in an automobile accident. Tyler was a free spirit and a generous young man who touched many through his kindness, love and loyalty. The Tyler Rigg Foundation is dedicated to honoring Tyler by celebrating his values of kindness, joy and adventure as well as his love of nature.

To this end the foundation supports the charitable interests of the people whose lives Tyler touched and supports organizations that work in the areas of social welfare, alternative education and environmental stewardship.
We prioritize, but are not restricted to, investing in fledgling projects in need of seed money. We believe we can make the greatest impact in areas where a little not only means a lot, but it might make the difference between something not starting at all and the start of something great.
