Supporting Thriving Communities
Our Commitment to Racial Equity
We work to ensure every resident has the support they need to thrive, regardless of the color of their skin, their income, and where they live.
The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust works for equitable access to quality health care, education, and economic opportunity for every resident of Forsyth County and across North Carolina.
We focus our grantmaking on achieving long-term, sustainable outcomes to support thriving communities and empower residents. Listening to community, taking actions to foster racial equity, and shifting systems are integral to all we do.

Raising Community Voices Around the Opioid Settlement
At the Trust, our commitment to investing statewide in the power of local leadership focused on improving health long term is stronger than ever, particularly in these times. It is our goal for impacted communities to play a primary role in leading strategies to prevent, address, and treat opioid and substance misuse. Systems and institutions must be held accountable and listen to and learn from residents as we work toward better health outcomes for all.
We Stand with NC Communities
We know the strength of North Carolina communities and residents, and we look forward to continuing to walk in partnership with you because our collective attention, ideas, and action are needed now more than ever.
A Word of Support for Our Partners
The Trust remains committed to ensuring that all children are given a strong start in life and school. And the Trust remains committed to closing disparities so that health, education, and economic outcomes aren’t entirely predictable by race and place.
We were founded to improve North Carolinians’ health and well-being.
Kate B. Reynolds founded the Trust in 1947. The mission she set then informs our vision of success today.
