Smith Reynolds Foundation was established more than 65 years ago for the benefit of the people of North Carolina. In its charter, the founders – Dick, Mary, and Nancy Reynolds – set forth the Foundation’s purpose in clear and simple language:\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>“The object for which this corporation is formed is the accomplishment of charitable works in the state of North Carolina.” |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| No other general purpose foundation in the country as large as the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation – its two trusts have approximately $471 million in assets – has a legal mandate to make grants within a single state.\u003Cbr>While the geographic boundary is firm, the Foundation’s grantsmaking strives to be far-reaching. It often seeks to initiate rather than to react, to question rather than to accept, to challenge rather than to affirm.\u003Cbr>In working to enhance the quality of life in North Carolina, the Foundation places a higher value on developing new programs than on sustaining well-established | ones, regardless of how worthy they may be. To accomplish its purpose, the Foundation currently gives special attention to certain focus areas – community economic development, the environment, precollegiate education, issues affecting minorities, and issues affecting women. Endowment and brick-and-mortar projects receive low priority from the Foundation.\u003Cbr>Headquartered in Winston-Salem, where it was founded in 1936, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation accepts proposals for grants twice a year, by February 1 for consideration in May and by August 1 for consideration in November. |\n| \u003Cbr>1911-1932 |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n\n| North Carolina is blessed with an abundance of strong, thoughtful leadership. Over the last several decades, the face of that leadership has changed, and North Carolina is better for it. As proof, one needs to look no further than this 2000 annual report. In the pages that follow, you will find profiles of women who have distinguished themselves in medicine, education, the arts, religion, politics, athletics, nonprofit administration,advocacy, the law, and other professions.\u003Cbr>A friend reminded me that as recently as the mid 1960s, the law school he attended here in North Carolina had only four or five women and two African Americans enrolled. That was not uncommon. I expect friends in other professions could tell similar stories.\u003Cbr>Yet, at the same time, we were making enough progress in opening doors and availing ourselves of the talents of women that Lady Bird Johnson would say in 1964 to the students of Texas Woman’s University, “It is a good time to be a woman because your country, more than at any time in its history, is utilizing your abilities and intelligence.”\u003Cbr>But there were obvious limitations on that progress, and Marya Mannes summed them up in an article for Life magazine when she said,“Nobody objects to a woman being a good writer or sculptor or geneticist as long as she manages also to be a good wife, mother, good-looking, good-tempered, well-dressed, well-groomed, and unaggressive.”\u003Cbr>Several decades later, the prevailing view is different, but the change has not come easily. There are women and men – and more than a few organizations – all across the state who have the battle ribbons to prove that fact. And there is more that must be done.\u003Cbr>When I wrote my letter last year, I did not know that we would be focusing on North Carolina women this year. However, I noted then that women’s issues are a priority at the Foundation and observed,“Few things encourage me more than seeing the leadership roles being assumed and executed so effectively by women in our state. Women are playing major roles in higher education. They are holding an increasing number of local and statewide elected offices. In the private sector, more and more businesses have women at the helm or in leadership roles.”\u003Cbr>My sentiment is even stronger now as North Carolina has elected four women to the Council of State.
