Crowell Trust

The Crowell Trust (full name: The Henry Parsons Crowell and Susan Coleman Crowell Trust) is a charitable foundation in the United States which states that it "is dedicated to the teaching and active extension of the doctrines of Evangelical Christianity".^[1] It has funded a television program opposing evolution, which television station KNME refused to broadcast.^{[2] [3] [4]}

The foundation was established in 1927 by American businessperson Henry Parsons Crowell, who was founder of the Quaker Oats Company, but not himself a Quaker. The foundation makes grants to various organizations in order to promote Evangelical Christianity.
