In 1997, a local St. Louis entrepreneur, Jack Taylor, created the
Crawford Taylor Foundation. His vision for the Foundation was to help
make St. Louis a better region. Throughout the years, the Foundation
has supported many organizations in the St. Louis area, mainly those
that improve the community, address women and youth issues, animal
welfare, and the environment. Today, there are three generations of the
Taylor Family who make up the Board of Trustees.
