The Udall Foundation was created in 1992 initially to honor the legacy of the late Morris Udall, who represented Southern Arizona in the U.S. House of Representatives for 30 years. Stewart Udall, who also represented Southern Arizona in Congress from 1955 to 1961, is Morris Udall’s older brother. The two worked together on many environmental and Native American initiatives while Stewart Udall was Secretary of the Interior and Morris Udall a member of Congress. Established by Congress in 1992 and enhanced by Congressional action in 2009 to also honor Stewart L. Udall's vast public service, by adding Stewart Udall into the foundation, renaming it the Morris K. and Stewart L. Udall Foundation. “The Udall legacy is really a shared legacy, rooted in the work of the Udall brothers that dominated environmental reform for three decades,” said Terry Bracy, chair of the Board of Trustees of the Udall Foundation. The Udall Foundation is dedicated to educating a new generation of Americans to preserve and protect their national heritage through scholarship, fellowship, and internship programs focused on environmental and Native American issues. The Udall Foundation is also committed to promoting the principles and practices of environmental conflict resolution.
