Mission Statement
The Wessinger Foundation was created to return in gratitude, through the contribution of both time and funding, that which it has received so generously from the community of Portland. In addition, the Foundation provides the descendants of Henry and Romayne Wessinger a mechanism to work together for the greater good of Portland and a means for family members to maintain close personal relationships with each other.
