Story Bank
Peyton Anderson believed in the power of people. The stories of people made his career as a newspaper publisher flourish. In honor of what would be the 110th birthday of Anderson, the Foundation launched the Peyton Anderson Story Bank Project in 2017 to celebrate and archive the modern day stories of grant recipients, who carry on Anderson’s legacy to do good.
