Our Founding of The Annie Gardner Foundation

In 1941, respected Mayfield businessman Ed Gardner sought to create a lasting tribute to his wife, Annie. He was deeply inspired by Annie's unwavering, quiet dedication to helping the poor and needy in their community. He envisioned an organization that would carry on her mission for generations to come.

He established The Annie Gardner Foundation as a privately funded non-profit, creating a permanent resource that could offer stability and hope. From its very first day, the foundation’s purpose has been to provide a dignified and compassionate helping hand to our neighbors during their most difficult times.

Our Mission Today

That original purpose remains our guiding principle. Our mission is:

To provide financial assistance, educational opportunities, and essential resources to the residents of Mayfield and Graves County, ensuring every individual has the support they need to be stable and self-sufficient.

We are more than just an organization; we are neighbors helping neighbors. We are committed to operating with integrity, compassion, and a deep respect for every person who walks through our doors.
