David Caldwell of Creve Coeur, Missouri, is a longtime supporter of The Heritage Foundation and founder of the Caldwell Foundation, dedicated to educating Americans about our history and Founding principles. David previously served as President of Gran Prix Bowling Supply, one of America’s largest bowling supply distributors, which he and his late wife Patricia founded in 1981.

David and Patricia met in night business school and were married in 1972. Patricia was a CPA and MBA and worked as a corporate accountant and controller early in her career. David holds a BSc in chemical engineering, an MSc in chemical engineering, and an MBA in finance.

David believes that “while Heritage has many worthy goals, many of which involve educating policymakers, the primary mission of the Caldwell Foundation is education of citizens about our nation’s Founding, and the scholar will see this as his or her primary role.”
