Founded in 1936 in Winston-Salem, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation is two trust funds of approximately $440 million, whose purpose is to do charitable work for the state of North Carolina only. Around 300 grants are made each year, with emphasis on the development of new programs rather than the maintenance of older ones. Current focus of the grants includes community economic development, K-12 education, and issues affecting women and minorities. Most grants are awarded to non-profit organizations.
