As the new executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, I am grateful to have the opportunity to be part of an institution that has been committed to supporting charitable works in North Carolina for 80 years. Today, the Foundation invests in nonprofit organizations that are working to improve public education, preserve and protect the environment, promote economic opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds, engage more individuals in the democratic process, and elevate the dignity of all.

Those who saw community needs not only as challenges, but also as opportunities for change. They built strong nonprofits that will sustain our growing population for many years.
