In 2007, Crystal felt Flying J was doing very well and should start giving back to the community. The Call Foundation, a private foundation focusing primarily on scholarships and education in Utah was established. Over the next 15 years, the Foundation has invested more than 19 million dollars in the communities where FJ Management employees live and work.
In 2022, when the Flying J remaining assets were to be liquidated it was decided that additional funds should be allocated to philanthropy. The Call to Action Foundation, a large private operating foundation, was the result of wanting to do more for years to come.
With the growing success of F J Management and its subsidiaries, Crystal and her family have remained dedicated to giving back to the community. Between 2007-2024, the family and enterprise invested more than 100 million dollars into marginalized communities.
