Icon Foundation was organized in 1971, receiving federal qualification in 1972/73 as a fully tax exempt 501(c)(3) Educational
and Charitable Foundation.
The demise of one of the foundation's most important initial founders, Howard Nelson Rolfe, contributed substantially to the
organization's lack of activity the last few years.
In the beginning, during the 70s, Ralph Hearkens, at that time Chairman of The Board of Santa Clara County Supervisors
(CA), and Ed. Carranza, owner at that time, of American Business College, were just two of a large group of influential
individuals lending enthusiastic support to the foundation's programs. The foundation's current management group
includes several members of Howard Rolfe's family, and several long time business associates.
