Bohemian Foundation is committed to working with our fellow community members on the care and improvement of our local, national, and global communities. Bohemian Foundation was founded in 2001 by Pat Stryker to continue her family tradition of making the world a better place. Our vision for the future is inspired by the legacy started by Pat’s family and we take inspiration for our name, Bohemian Foundation, from the bohemian movement in Paris in the early 1900s. The Bohemians believed there is something greater within each individual and that meeting one’s potential has worth and dignity. Like the Bohemians, we believe in imagination, creativity, innovation and spirit. We look to our community to be receptive to the transformational effects of open-mindedness, to be willing to take risks and to be ready to learn. We are actively seeking creative ways of working in our community by involving our fellow citizens and organizations in working together, leaving the world a better place.
