A HEART FOR DEVELOPMENT
The Kerr Taylor Foundation is the genius of Muriel Kerr Taylor, the last of the family to reside in the historic Alberton House. Muriel had a heart to help those in need in her community and the Foundation seeks to continue Muriel’s legacy.
IDEAS INVITED
If you are in the Mt Albert area and have an idea that will help provide services for people denied a standard of quality of life enjoyed by most of us, you are welcome to apply. We are most interested in assisting with seed funding.
CHECK YOUR LOCATION
The Kerr Taylor Foundation Trust gives priority to helping those in need within the boundaries of the what used to be known as Mt Albert City. The Foundation’s special interests includes helping people in need of physical, mental and spiritual support.
SHOW YOUR STRATEGY
Whether large or small, if you have a sound strategy for developing your idea to the social or spiritual benefit of Mt Albert residents in need, Muriel Kerr Taylor’s legacy may be able to help you get it off the ground, or propel you forward.
Like all but one of her sisters, Muriel Kerr Taylor never married, but was a well loved Aunt who, with her sisters, hosted many of her Kerr Taylor family at Alberton House. Muriel was warm, fun loving and encouraging to all. The Kerr Taylor Foundation operates in a similar spirit, supporting those who need it most.
In the 1970’s Muriel contributed $30,000 to establish the Foundation. Through wise and careful investment, the capital has seen exceptional growth and is now able to generate sufficient income to enable annual grants to be made to initiatives that provide services for people denied the quality of life most of us enjoy. Grants have ranged from $500 to more than $3,000 in seed funding. More than $700,000 in grants have been distributed over the years.
