The Musgrave Foundation was formed in 1984 by Jeannette Musgrave using an inheritance from her husband's family oil leases in Oklahoma and Texas. The foundation is aimed at helping underprivileged children; providing scholarships, particularly to young women entering the nursing field; and assisting the elderly financially, according to its
