The SMET Foundation

When John and Cynthia Lee Smet established their family foundation in 1992, its goals reflected the Smets’ broad interests in a variety of charitable causes: religious, scientific, literary, and educational. Over the years, the Smets further recognized and appreciated the many ways education shaped their lives at work, at home, and in the community. With that in mind, they aim to give the gift of an excellent education to as many young people as they can.
