Our Story
Madison Cooper, Jr. established the Cooper Foundation in 1943 as a tribute to his parents Madison A. Cooper and Martha Roane Cooper. His vision was to “make Waco a better or more desirable city in which to live.” Over the years, Cooper Foundation has contributed over $28 million to fulfill his wish, reminding us of the powerful impact just one person can have on a community.
Trustees and Staff
The Cooper Foundation has a small, dedicated staff that is here to serve the community. We encourage our nonprofit colleagues to become engaged with our staff to discuss emergent concerns and opportunities. Take a moment to learn more about us.
