Sid W. Richardson established the Foundation in 1947. When substantial income from assets from the late Mr. Richardson’s estate became available in 1962, the Foundation began its current program of distributing major grants.
Although his interests reached beyond Texas and his personal contacts were worldwide, he retained his utmost concern for the people of his home state. Throughout the years, the Board of Directors and staff have sought to fulfill his vision. Regarding his reputation as a tireless dealmaker, Mr. Richardson was once quoted as saying, “Only one thing I know…I’ll still be tradin’ when they bury me.
” As he predicted, after arriving at St. Joseph Island from his office in Fort Worth, he died quietly in his sleep after a full day of activities on September 30, 1959. Because of his interest in the American West, Mr. Richardson became an avid collector of paintings by Frederic Remington and Charles M.
Russell and other prominent American artists. Today, these magnificent paintings are on permanent exhibit in Fort Worth in the Sid Richardson Museum, which is supported by the Foundation. Sid W.

Throughout the years, the Board of Directors and staff have sought to fulfill his vision by providing grants primarily in the areas of education, healthcare, human services and culture.

Bass, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said, “Our Foundation is dedicated to funding meaningful organizations that help improve our society.
