The Taylor Foundation supports over 150 social impact programmes across 43 countries, providing direct funding to projects focused on education, social enterprise and healthcare for those in need.
It was formed in 2002 by the directors of tna solutions, following their visit to an under resourced school in South Africa. That same day, they decided to build a new school facility for the 300+ students. Their work has continued to change the lives of over 150,000 people since.
