The foundation was incorporated in 1946 in New York as the Frank R. Huisking Foundation, Inc. In September 1971, the name was officially amended to The Huisking Foundation, Inc. The foundation was established to perpetuate and preserve the memory of Lieutenant Frank R. Huisking, who served as co-captain of a B-24 bomber during World War II and was lost with his crew when the bomber went down over Italy in 1944.
