Overview
[edit]The foundation was established in 1927 by American businessman Henry Parsons Crowell, who was founder of the Quaker Oats Company, but not himself a Quaker. The foundation makes grants to various organizations in order to promote Evangelical Christianity.[2]
It has funded a television program opposing evolution, which television station KNME refused to broadcast.[3][4][5]
