Georgetown, Texas, November 08, 2023. The Anna+Anton Olson Legacy Foundation (Foundation) has achieved a milestone in philanthropy and has distributed over $500,000 since inception. This is the third annual grant cycle undertaken by the Foundation which was established in August 2021 with the goal to provide grants to help strengthen the Georgetown, Hutto and Taylor communities through a life cycle of caring.
According to the Foundation’s founder, Larry Olson, “I appreciate that Central Texas Community Foundation, Chisholm Trail Communities Foundation, and Great Taylor Foundation agreed to work together in evaluating all grant applications received during this grant cycle. Their level of philanthropic cooperation is a perfect example of the collaboration the Foundation has been encouraging in the nonprofit community.” Through this year’s grant cycle, $150,000 was distributed to local nonprofits for both operating expenses as well as specific programs that will address at least one of the Foundation’s three Focus Areas:
- Give underserved children more opportunities to grow and thrive;
- Foster a spirit of entrepreneurship with youth and young adults in underserved areas; and/or
- Provide independence and dignity to seniors trying to live at home.
