The Lyndhurst Foundation
The Lyndhurst Foundation had its beginnings in the broad local and regional philanthropic
activities of Thomas Cartter Lupton, a pioneer in the Coca-Cola bottling business.
First organized in 1938 as the Memorial Welfare Foundation, these activities continued
and expanded after Mr. Lupton’s death in 1977, when the foundation changed its name
to Lyndhurst, a reference to the family home in Chattanooga. At that time the foundation
leadership passed into the hands of Mr. Lupton's son, John T. Lupton, and Lyndhurst
began to focus its attention upon primary health care, elementary and secondary
education, and arts and cultural activities.
