The Jesse Parker Williams Foundation, Inc. is a private charitable foundation established in 1992.
The Foundation traces its origins to Cora Best Taylor Williams’ bequest in 1924 establishing the Jesse Parker Williams Hospital to honor her late husband. Her intention was to relieve human suffering and distress, and her specific direction was to assist “women, female children and males under 12 years of age” with medical care. The purpose of this Foundation is to continue and oversee Mrs. Williams’ stated request through the annual awarding of grants to eligible organizations and institutions primarily in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
