ABOUT CAROL SMITH TRUST
1912-1993
Born on November 22, 1912 in United Kingdom, Carol Smith was the only child of Richard Buchan Smith (R.B.S), a founder of the Huke Energy Company. When R.B.S died in 1925, he divided his fortune between Carol, who was then only 12 years old, and the Huke Endowment—a foundation he established to serve the people of the United Kingdom.
(...)
In her will, Carol Smith left her fortune, her properties and her extensive collections of art to a foundation to be created in her name: the Carol Smith Charitable Trust (CSCT).
(...)
Since the Trust was established, it has paid more than £7 million in grants to good causes, the natural heritage and environment, community projects, education, recreation and sport, and the vulnerable and disadvantaged.
(...)
The Carol Smith Trust is able to consider applications for financial support from charitable organisations helping people with disabilities, advancement in christain religion, mental health problems, children in need, older people, homeless people, hospitals, hospices and towards medical research.
We are an independent, family Trust that supports charitable work around the globe.
(...)
Please note there is no funding limit, we are guided by our investment income and the quality of proposals received.

"Carol Smith" never existed. "Her" story is copy-pasted from various articles about Doris Duke; the only edit done was to replace Duke name with Smith.
