The foundation's offices are located in a renovated historic mill. Earlier grants by the foundation included one in the early 1930s to help pay for a memorial in Krefeld, Germany, to early German settlers in what is now the United States and, in 1953, financial support for an exhibit of 90 American paintings in Germany.
