The Doris Prouty Foundation exists to honor the legacy and memory of Doris Elizabeth Prouty. Doris was a self-taught quilter and artist, the first in her family to graduate from college, and a teacher on many levels. She helped people to learn, play, heal, and do great things, to be themselves and to connect with each other. In this spirit, the Foundation supports people of color, particularly black women, to achieve their goals in education, art, social change, and climate justice.
