Where we Work
Broward County, Florida
The Henderson family has longstanding roots in Broward County. We partner with nonprofit organizations, agencies, and other funders to strengthen early childhood systems and family supports across the region. We also explore opportunities for deeper, place-based investment in Broward County when it aligns with our mission and strategy.
Vermont
The Foundation has a long-term commitment to Vermont, where some Henderson family members make their home. We support early childhood programs and family-serving organizations across the state in partnership with local and regional organizations.
