The Stafford Family Charitable Trust aims to give back to the Central Missouri community, expressing gratitude for the support received over the years. Initiated by J.W. “Stan” Stafford and Lois Smith Stafford following the sale of their Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company, the Trust has contributed over $1.5 million to local charities, focusing on education, children’s/family-oriented organizations, and community development.
The broad goals of the Stafford Family Charitable Trust grant program are to support nonprofit organizations that provide significant benefits to the Central Missouri community. Specific causes supported include education (funding for local college campuses and libraries), restoration projects, medical education, as well as children’s and family-oriented organizations like summer camps, emergency shelters, and social service agencies. The grant program seeks to enhance the community where the Staffords made their livelihood, focusing on philanthropic efforts that embody gratitude and community support.
