Prominent Missouri businessman Stanley Herzog gave a simple directive before he passed away in 2019: advance Christian education. Now, the Stanley M. Herzog Foundation is doing just that. The Herzog Foundation will support the advancement and acceleration of non-denominational Christian education through a several-hundred-million-dollar endowment.

Stan Herzog, former chairman and CEO of Herzog Contracting Corp. in St. Joseph, amassed a fortune in the rail and heavy highway construction industry and bequeathed hundreds of millions of dollars for a new charitable foundation dedicated to increasing the quality and availability of Christian education.
