Heritage: Chuck Knabusch, Trustee of Edward M. and Henrietta M. Knabusch Charitable Trusts 1 and 2

The words “heritage,” “humble,” and “help” are on repeat as Chuck Knabusch shares stories of the founding, history, and spending down of the Edward M. and Henrietta M. Knabusch Charitable Trust established by his grandfather. The foundation was set up to last only 30 years and, at the airing of this episode, is in its final months. 

Bonus: Here’s a little more history of La-Z-Boy, the furniture company Edward M. Knabusch, Chuck’s grandfather, founded with his cousin in 1927. It’s still located in Monroe, MI, the community in which it was established and that is the primary focus of the foundation's support.
