Garland & Agnes Taylor Gray Foundation


On January 1, 1997 the Garland & Agnes Taylor Gray Foundation became a supporting organization of The Community Foundation Serving Richmond and Central Virginia. Previously a private foundation, the Gray Foundation enjoys the tax advantages of The Community Foundation and benefits from the administrative, program and other support provided by the Foundation's staff.

The Gray Foundation carries out TCF's broad charitable purposes through the distribution of grants on a competitive and noncompetitive basis. Grantmaking primarily focuses on supporting cultural, historical and educational institutions that have a significant impact on the quality of life in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Priority is also given to programs and organizations in any field of charitable endeavor that substantially benefit the quality of life in southside communities of Petersburg, Waverly and surrounding areas.
