Making a Difference Where a Difference Needs to be Made

Fulfilling a promise to do good after doing well

Smith Martini is more than just a name—it represents a feeling, a time of day, a family tradition.  It signifies keeping life in balance, pausing to be grateful and celebrating the moments we get to spend together.  Being deliberate and mindful, pausing to take stock and restore perspective, the Smith Martini gives us time to check in and check on each other.  It is a choice to intentionally stop to take notice and act instead of just walking by.  It is this sentiment that compels the Smith Martini Foundation’s work.

The Smith Martini Foundation embraces a set of core values that emerge from the Foundation’s mission of making a difference where a difference needs to be made. The Foundation values grants and programs that benefit women, children and animals in Western North Carolina.
