When you support the Choose Henry Flex Fund, you are meeting needs in Henry County! The annual payout is used to help where the needs are the greatest, and the benefits to the community and its citizens are most substantial.
This year during the fall grant cycle, the Choose Henry Flex Fund was able to award $104,175.00 in grant money to 23 local organizations. It’s through donors who give to the Choose Henry Flex Fund that we are are able to help causes in our community thrive!
