Founded in 1958 by philanthropists Stephen and Audrey Currier, the Taconic Foundation worked consistently during its fifty-five-year existence to combat social inequities and promote equality of opportunity. Under Stephen Currier's lead, Taconic was at the forefront in organizing support for the civil rights movement and seeking solutions to the urban crisis. Initial program areas focused on race relations, mental health, and child development. Later programs evolved to focus on families and youth, educational innovation, community organizing, housing and neighborhood development, and youth employment.
