The Trustees of Smith Charities, based in Northampton, MA, manage a charitable Trust established by Oliver Smith, a visionary farmer from Hatfield, who bequeathed $400,000 in 1845. The Trust has distributed over $9 million to qualified recipients in nine communities, assisting young apprentices, widows, and other beneficiaries in their pursuit of trade and stability.

In addition to cash gifts, the provisions of Smith's will led to the establishment of the Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School and emphasized the importance of religious, racial, and political tolerance in the distribution of its benefits. The enduring impact of the Trust's contributions reflects Oliver Smith's progressive foresight and dedication to community welfare.
