About The James J Dudley Luce
Foundation:
The needs of the world are vast, but so
too are our many resources. One of
humanity’s most valuable resources is
young global leadership impacting
positive social change, which this
foundation endeavors to support. The
Luce and Dudley families have had a long
and historical commitment to youth,
education, and social improvement in the
United States and around the world. I
aspire to continue this family tradition
through the grants, centers, awards, and
publications of The James Jay Dudley
Luce Foundation – playing a role,
however humble, in bettering humanity.
The goal is uplifting the worst of
humanity while celebrating the best of
humanity – especially the arts. For
