Mike and Charlotte Zeiders knew long ago that they wanted to do something special and far reaching with their charitable giving.  While they were moved to donate to some very impressive organizations, they knew with Mike’s entrepreneurial drive and Charlotte’s compassion, they could maximize the reach of their giving if they were directly involved with the process.  That is where the Zeiders Family Foundation began and then evolved into the Quality of Life Foundation.

Quality of Life Foundation strives to make positive differences in peoples’ lives today that will continue far into the future.  By focusing on initiatives that improve the quality of life of those who have been struck by misfortune, and teaching them skills for rebuilding in spite of those life struggles, the Foundation will have indeed provided a life-long benefit to those they serve.
