In honor of John Voelker, renowned novelist and outdoor writer, an eminent member of the bench and bar, and a skilled fly fisherman, the Voelker Foundation focuses on three principle initiatives.
Foundation Members’ contributions have helped Native American scholars from Michigan and Wisconsin tribes to achieve the dream of a legal education.
Writers from around the globe compete for the opportunity to have their entry published and earn the most prestigious outdoor writing award in the nation.
We work with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the City of Ishpeming, Trout Unlimited, and the Anglers of the Au Sable to encourage a love of fly fishing and “the environs where trout are found.”
