Motivated by a fundamental desire to make a difference, the Allens have contributed to local non-profit organizations with a shared focus on helping others. They have provided on-going support to Hoag Hospital, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Orange County Community Foundation, and recently made the lead gift to establish the Mary & Dick Allen Diabetes Center at Hoag.
At least 31 area organizations have benefitted from the Allens philanthropy including the Alzheimer’s Family Services Center, the Council on Aging, the MIND Institute, UC Irvine, and St. Mark Presbyterian Church. Their generosity supports the philanthropic fabric of Orange County and will live on in the many children, families, students, and seniors who benefit from the institutions the Allens have helped build and sustain.
