“With help from the Loker Foundation, the Center for the Blue Economy's goal is no less than to make the Institute a global leader in both academic studies and research dedicated to promoting a true Blue Economy for the 21st century – ensuring that our ocean and coastal resources are used sustainably and provide shared prosperity." 

- Dr. Jason Scorse, Director of the Center for the Blue Economy

“The Loker Foundation’s early support for Middlebury was dedicated to our most enduring commitment—support for students in the College who have the talent and drive to contribute to our community and lack only the financial resources to achieve their goals.

“More recent Loker gifts have made possible the critical work of the Center for the Blue Economy at the Middlebury Institute. The center’s faculty and students engage in research and practice that embody the ideals of Middlebury’s mission to ‘prepare students to lead engaged, consequential, and creative lives, contribute to their communities, and address the world’s most challenging problems.’

“We are deeply grateful for the partnership between Middlebury and the Loker Foundation.”

- President Laurie L. Patton, Middlebury College

“For more than five decades, Dignity Health California Hospital Medical Center has benefited from the Loker Family and the Loker Foundation’s generosity.  Their deep-rooted passion for effecting lasting positive change through their giving has helped build the infrastructure to provide outstanding medical care to our patients. 

“The Loker Foundation’s philanthropic investment in hospital priorities—ranging from cancer care to women’s health, and most recently our new patient care tower scheduled to open in 2021—is making a very real difference for families in Los Angeles.  Our hospital cares for people from all walks of life, with a special focus on those most in need.

“The profound impact of the Loker Foundation is directly reflected in the countless lives saved and healed by our caregivers, and we could not be more grateful for their active and engaged partnership.”

- President Nathan R. Nusbaum, California Hospital Medical Center Foundation
