Our Founders

David S. Vogel and Thais Lopez Vogel have maintained a personal philanthropic portfolio for many years, largely consisting of public health and education programs. As they became more informed and noticed evident changes in the environment and climate, they set out to answer the hard questions by funding projects aimed at solving this major issue. In 2014, David and Thais formed VoLo Foundation.
