The Hegeler Carus Foundation provides direction in the on-going renovation efforts of the Hegeler Carus Mansion, the Julius W. Hegeler I Home, and the extensive grounds of both sites.
Since the Hegeler Carus Foundation was formed, its goals have been to encourage and support cultural activities by restoring and using the Hegeler Carus Mansion, an American center of philosophical, scientific, and religious dialogue. The Foundation was incorporated as a 501 (c) 3 in February of 1987. Now that the Foundation has acquired the Julius W. Hegeler I Home that sits directly across from the Mansion, its restoration is also a Foundation goal.
