Background

The Shackelford Family Foundation was established by Thekla R. (Teckie) Shackelford in 1996 to continue the charitable legacy of her parents, Everett and Gay Reese. Everett Reese was active in the central Ohio banking industry for more than 70 years. Among his charitable interests were The Ohio State University Presidents Club, which he founded in 1963; his church; and Piney Woods, a small boarding school for African Americans in Mississippi. Mr. Reese died in 1995 at the age of 97. The Shackelford Family Foundation focuses its grantmaking on educational issues.
