The Foundation

The Buck Foundation, located in Vacaville, California, is housed on an historic estate consisting of a Victorian mansion built in 1891 on one acre of landscaped grounds. The mansion and grounds are available on a limited basis for nonprofit meetings and fundraising events.

Mission

The mission of the Buck Foundation is to support education. We achieve this through the Frank H. Buck Scholarship program which provides full scholarship support to students chosen from the six counties that were the congressional district served by Frank H. Buck in the 72nd through 76th United States Congresses (1932-42). 

Closing of the Foundation

In June 2009, The Frank H. and Eva B. Buck Foundation announced that the Foundation would spend down its endowment and close in December 2015. The Board of Directors chose 2015 as the closing date of the Foundation, since it marks the 25th Anniversary of the Frank H. Buck Scholarship program. The final class of Frank H. Buck Scholars were chosen in the spring of 2010 which will allow them adequate time to complete their undergraduate education while the Foundation is still in existence.
