Mission Statement

“This trust is created and shall be operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes or the prevention of cruelty to children or animals. Mrs. Henry’s expectation that the trust’s focus, and the continuity of directorships, is to be linked to her history and her pattern of concerns for Rocky Mount, Nashville, and Nash County, but not to the extent that those concerns constrain the board’s discretionary powers.”

Deadline for Grant Applications is August 31 of each year.
