About Smith Family Foundation

The Smith Family Foundation is a private grant-making Institution, founded in Trenton, NJ in 2016. Their Mission is to empower its community, cultivate leaders and transform lives by providing funding and leadership development to Trenton-based organizations.

In May of 2016, the Smith family — Pearlie Smith & her seven children — received a substantial financial blessing. Blessed with a new opportunity, the family made it their collective mission to improve the quality of life for residents in their hometown – thus the Smith Family Foundation was born. While the foundation allows the Smiths to support their community in ways previously unimagined, the family is no stranger to philanthropy. The seeds for the foundation were planted decades ago in the South Side of Trenton, where Seamon and Pearlie Smith raised their children on values of hard work, love of God, and giving back.
