The Kresge Foundation

The S.S. Kresge Company was 25 years old in 1924. Sebastian S. Kresge himself was 57. To commemorate the anniversary of his growing company, on June 11 he established The Kresge Foundation in booming Detroit, where the auto industry, also 25-years old that year, had spawned rampant growth and widespread prosperity. The foundation listed its goals as promoting “philanthropic and charitable means of human progress.”
