About Us

Founded 30 years ago by Bill and Ann Turner, the Turner Foundation is dedicated to making a positive impact in Mansfield and Springfield. Ann, lovingly known as "Granny," was passionate about literacy and education, and her vision continues to guide our mission. Although Ann passed away in 2020, her legacy lives on through our support of educational and literacy initiatives.

Bill Turner, a transformative leader at Great Southern Bank, helped it grow from a single branch to nearly 90 retail centers across multiple states. Beyond his business success, Bill has been a committed community servant, contributing through various local organizations and the Turner Family Foundation.

    The Turner Family Foundation has steadfastly supported Ozarks Technical Community College, significantly impacting the lives of countless students. Through the Turner Family Foundation Scholarship, established in 2010, the Foundation has consistently invested in the education of our students, providing critical financial support that has enabled them to pursue their dreams without the burden of financial stress.

    Their generous contributions have also enriched the college’s campus, naming the ICW Student Lounge—a vibrant space fostering student engagement and success. The Turner Family Foundation's unwavering commitment to education at Ozark Tech ensures that students are equipped with the tools they need to thrive in their academic and professional journeys.
