History of the Tucson Foundations
Ashby I. Lohse, a native Tucsonan, specialized in estate planning and probate law. Many of his clients established private foundations through their wills upon their deaths. The 11 foundations directed by the Lohse Family, are collectively called the Tucson Foundations.

Our Home is Their Home
The contributing donors who established their private foundations with Ashby Lohse made Tucson, Arizona, their final home. Tucson resides on the ancestral and occupied lands of the Tohono O’odham, and Pascua Yaqui tribes. We pay respects to their elders, past and present. In proactive harm reduction, we prioritize native visibility through grants, scholarships, vendor agreements, and advocacy.
