Anna+Anton Olson Legacy Fund

The Anna+Anton Olson Legacy Foundation (TAAOLF) was established to honor the lives of Anna and Anton Olson, Swedish pioneers and Texas farmers. TAAOLF supports an annual grant program, administered by the Central Texas Community Foundation (CTXCF), that provides philanthropic grants to strengthen the Georgetown, Hutto and Taylor communities through a life cycle of caring.

The Foundation continues to explore new, innovative ideas to maximize its grant program, including a growing focus on helping support emerging nonprofits to become stronger, more sustainable organizations in their community's future.
