Welcome to Henry County Community Foundation

...where we are making an impact in our community.

 

5% can make a $75.37 million difference
to future generations in Henry County.  

The net worth of Henry County is estimated to be $2.25 billion. Over the next 10 years, $1.5 billion is expected to be transferred from one generation to the next. If every estate gave just 5% to the community for future generations, Henry County Community Foundation could grant an additional $1.18 million each year, forever.

 

  Over the next 50 years, our county will experience the largest intergeneration transfer of wealth in its history.
