D&F Charity Trust’s Impact & Ongoing Mission
D&F Charity Trust has extended vital support across Alabama and Arkansas since its founding, through educational scholarships, medical assistance, and community programs. Driven by a commitment to do Whatever it Takes to enrich lives, the Trust’s impact reaches from helping future industry leaders fund their college education to providing critical resources for children facing medical challenges. At the heart of this work are stories like those of Beau Henshall, who received lifesaving care at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, and Grayson Gladden, an Auburn University EAGLES student pursuing his dreams of independence and professional success with D&F’s support.
The Trust’s annual Golf Classics are cornerstone events that make much of this impact possible. However, the mission extends far beyond tournament day. Thanks to the generosity of community members and industry partners, D&F Charity Trust continues to support deserving young people in agriculture, offer aid to children with special medical needs, and bring hope to those in need throughout the communities D&F serves.
Generous donations can be made year-round, fueling D&F Charity Trust’s legacy of care, education, and opportunity.
