Bringing big ideas within reach
The Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation strives to empower Tulsans to achieve their goals by decreasing barriers associated with big ideas.
A history of innovation
Founded in 1997 by Bill Lobeck and Kathy Taylor, the Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation has grown into a second generation investment in making Tulsa an innovative, collaborative and thriving city. LTFF encompasses a variety of programs and community partnerships dedicated to achieving our mission: to decrease barriers for Tulsans with big ideas.
MRM decreases barriers by providing entrepreneurs with the opportunity to use a small shop model to test and scale their latest concept without the financial risk of opening a full-scale brick-and-mortar business.
Kitchen 66 decreases barriers for food entrepreneurs by providing access to affordable commercial kitchen space, business training programs, and sales & distribution opportunities like the Takeover Cafe inside Mother Road Market.
The Shops at MRM decreases barriers for retail entrepreneurs by providing access to affordable brick-and-mortar retail locations, marketing and communications support, and more.
