The Nathan Weidner Foundation was established in 1995 in memory of Nathan Weidner, who passed away in September 1994 (age 15) as the result of a tragic accident here in Bay City.
Founded to honor his memory and heart for others.
The Nathan Weidner Foundation provides scholarships for the financially challenged youth
in our community. To date, we have awarded over 100 scholarships to Delta College and hope to
expand our scholarship program to four-year institutions.
Through the Nathan Weidner Children's Advocacy Center, the Nathan Weidner
Foundation provides assistance for the abused and neglected children in our community. The
Nathan Weidner Children's Advocacy Center, located at 715 N. Euclid Avenue, Bay City,
Michigan, aids approximately 2000 abused children each year. You are invited to visit this
facility to see our work directed at reducing the effects of the trauma these abused children have
experienced.
The Nathan Weidner Foundation desires to build a home to shelter and aid neglected and
abused children. This long-term dream began in 1995. Thanks to generous gifts of donors,
this dream is getting increasingly closer to becoming reality.
'A Helping Hand Makes A Difference.'
