Smith and Davis Foundation of Mocksville has announced its grants for the 2014 grant cycle. It has awarded a grant of $5,000 to The LandTrust for Central North Carolina of Salisbury in memory of the founder of the Smith and Davis Foundation, Wilma Motley Davis, to further the LandTrust’s work in its Two Rivers Preserve region along the Yadkin and South Yadkin rivers.
