About the Edward Lowe Foundation

Edward Lowe invented Kitty Litter in 1947 and spent decades building it into a household name. Along the way, he developed a deep belief in the American entrepreneur and a desire to give business owners the support and resources he never had access to himself.


In 1985, he and his wife Darlene founded the Edward Lowe Foundation to do exactly that. Based at Big Rock Valley, a 2,000-acre property in Cassopolis, Michigan, the foundation works with second-stage entrepreneurs across the country. Second-stage companies are businesses with 10 to 99 employees and between $1 million and $50 million in revenue that have moved beyond startup and are ready to scale. Today, the foundation continues Ed's work by connecting entrepreneurs with peers, mentors, and tools they need to grow.

From the Archives 

Edward Lowe was always coming up with ideas (he was an entrepreneur, you know!). Big ideas, wild ideas, and plenty of ideas that probably raised a few eyebrows before they turned into something really special. The pickle barrel golf course is a perfect example, and it's still a favorite pastime of guests at Big Rock Valley decades later.  (Ever wonder where it came from? We'll let Ed take it from here because nobody tells this story better than he does!) 

While we won't be on the pickle barrel course, the Edward Lowe Invitational carries the same spirit Ed had from the start: get your friends together and have one heck of a time! 

Thank you, sponsors!
