Marion C. Smyth established the Smyth Trust to honor her husband, Frederick Smyth, with the mission of providing cultural benefits to the citizens of Manchester and the State of New Hampshire. The Trust aims to aid and encourage deserving youth from Manchester and adjacent towns who lack the financial means to further their education in the field of music.
The Smyth Trust is focused on fostering musical education and appreciation within New Hampshire. Its primary goals include granting scholarships to Greater Manchester students pursuing college degrees in music and providing annual grants to New Hampshire music education and performing organizations. This initiative reflects the Trust's commitment to enhancing the cultural landscape and supporting young musicians in their educational and artistic endeavors.
