Honoring Educator Catherine Farley Martin Since 1996
The Martin Foundation is a non-profit, community-based corporation established by Dr. Angela Martin in memory of her mother, Catherine Farley Martin, who was an educator and an author. The Foundation was launched in 1996 at a memorial service held at the old Martin Theatre in Dublin, Georgia. The Foundation applied for and received its initial 501c3 status in 2002. In 2003, the Foundation held its first annual event.
“From the one room schoolhouse to military stations around the world, my parents joyfully demonstrated to me their service to diverse communities in numerous ways. Using my training in health, education and research, I continue to inspire scholarship, innovation, and implementation. Simply put, I want to help.”
