About the Kenneth G. Mills Foundation
Kenneth Mills was a great advocate of patronage, and in 1980 he established a charitable organization which he called Patrons of Wisdom. On May 14, 2004 Patrons of Wisdom was officially renamed The Kenneth G. Mills Foundation, which continues under the original mandate to support [Dr. Mills’] life’s work and the advancement of education and the arts. Upon his passing in October 2004, Dr. Mills bequeathed to the Foundation his archival library of recorded lectures and musical performances, as well as the collection of his art and fashions.
The Kenneth G. Mills Foundation is a membership organization that is governed by an elected board of directors. Funding for the Foundation’s activities comes from membership fees, donations, and events.
“This is an adventure to restore the unlimited possibilities of attainment, so that others may realize that Reality and an Ideal are ever at hand to sustain such an accomplishment in the world.”
Kenneth G. Mills
What We Do
The Foundation carries out ongoing projects specific to the preservation and dissemination of the works of Kenneth G. Mills, as well as sponsoring young artists in music and a variety of other creative disciplines.
Each year the Foundation presents workshops at Easter and Thanksgiving and a week-long conference in the summer. These events feature the words and works of Dr. Mills as well as various guest artists, poets, speakers, and performers.
“The Education of tomorrow will bring before the public the need to reach a way of alignment to a universal Pitch of all-inclusiveness.” – Kenneth G. Mills
Our Mission

Your fees and contributions (both monetary and as a potential volunteer) enable the Foundation to carry out its mandate of preserving and widely sharing the archival library of recorded lectures and musical performances bequeathed to it by Dr. Mills.
Much of this library is now available online, with more content constantly being added. Free access to it is one of the greatest benefits of membership in the Foundation.
