The Mcgregor Foundation
The McGregor Foundation is a private grantmaking foundation established in 2003, evolving from The A.M. McGregor Home, a senior care facility located in East Cleveland, Ohio. The Home was founded in 1904 by Tootie McGregor Terry in honor of her late husband, Ambrose McGregor, who served as president of Standard Oil of Ohio. Mrs. Terry donated land owned by the McGregor family and funded construction of the Home, along with creating an endowment trust to ensure its continued operation.
