Kenneth and Caroline Taylor Family Foundation

About Kenneth and Caroline Taylor Family Foundation

The Kenneth and Caroline Taylor Family Foundation gives at unusually broad size ranges for a place-based family funder, with general grants running from $1,000 to $100,000 and a clear mix of operating support, capital support, seed money, and special projects. In practice, that flexibility shows up in large, recurring support for community institutions and direct-service systems. The biggest recent award went to Wyalusing Valley Volunteer Fire Co for operational support, while another major grant supported National Museum of Wildlife Art with museum operating support tied to COVID-19 impact. The foundation also backs scholarship delivery at scale through Scholarship America, pairing institutional giving with direct aid for students. Its grant history suggests an emphasis on core functions rather than short-term programming, with support for services that communities use year after year. That pattern fits grants to organizations such as Guthrie Healthcare System and Wyalusing Valley Museum Assn Inc, both of which received significant operating or campaign support. Across the record, the foundation appears to favor grants that help organizations stay functional, maintain access, or deliver recurring community benefits.
