Gary Milgard Family Foundation

Gary Milgard Family Foundation

Gary E. Milgard and Carol Milgard established the foundation in 2000. The entity originated from proceeds tied to Milgard Manufacturing, which Masco Corporation acquired in 2001. The foundation allocates across private equity and fund-of-funds vehicles. Confirmed holdings include exposure to the Invesco DB Gold Fund. It also maintains the HedgePremier/RIDA Fund LP. Geographic reach centers on the United States with primary activity in Washington state. The foundation reported $308 million in assets under the Altss record. It maintains the Milgard Family Office Building in Tacoma and the Milgard Collection of classic automobiles. In 2016 the original foundation divided its assets among the Ruth Foundation, Skylight Foundation, Whisper Foundation, and Windows of Hope Foundation. The architecture separates grant-making mandates across four distinct 501(c)(3) entities, each led by a different family member. This structure isolates focus areas while preserving family oversight of capital deployment.
