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.
