Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust

The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust is a private foundation with a mission to improve the quality of life and quality of health for the financially needy of North Carolina. The Trust is committed to accelerating positive movement on critical community issues and effecting enduring systemic change. Since the Trust began in 1947, its assets have grown from $5 million to $600 million, placing it among the largest in the state. Since it began the Trust has invested more than $450 million dollars toward improving life and health for needy residents of our state. In positioning the Trust for carrying its work into the future, we acknowledge three key commitments:

1) To have impact - to make a difference is our most critical commitment. 2) To successfully implement innovative ideas that are creative, relevant, and useful in tackling today's challenges and preventing tomorrow's problems. 3) To use our influence and leverage to support the organizations and agencies whose work we sponsor and to be the voice of the vulnerable, the underserved, and the economically disadvantaged.
