Roger and Katherine have three children: Megan (1985), Shannon (1987) and Derrik (1991). The Flahive Family Foundation was founded in October of 2005 out of the family’s collective gratitude and desire to give back. They recognized that as Americans, they had benefited from excellent schools, great health care and a vibrant economic system. This understanding formed their desire and moreover, a sense of responsibility, to give back to the areas they believe have the most impact on people around the world. The Flahive Family Foundation restricts all grant-making to 501(c)(3) organizations. The Foundation does not give grants to individuals.
