Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

In an effort to create more public outreach programs, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences has created Outreach North Carolina. With the help of federal grant money, Outreach North Carolina has brought environmental education programs to ten underserved counties that have a large amount of natural resources. Five different programs catering to the public, children, and Spanish-speaking communities are now in effect.
