A Note from Jennifer


The Henry County Community Foundation wouldn’t be here without amazing people like you. Your generosity goes way beyond the dollars and cents – it fuels our ability to support local causes and empower organizations that help our community thrive.


Last year, the Foundation gave out $1.8 million in grants and scholarships. These grants funded essential programs for everything from education and healthcare to art and the environment, directly impacting countless lives and making Henry County an even stronger, more vibrant place.


But what really makes the Foundation special is the spirit of giving that connects all our donors. Every single contribution, no matter the size, becomes part of a legacy of generosity that’s been building for years. It’s a powerful reminder of how much our community cares about its future.
