Our Story
The BACOT MCCARTY FOUNDATION was established in 1978, following the wishes of E.H. Bacot, who sought to enhance educational opportunities for the people of Mississippi. After his passing, his wife, Bertha Bacot, founded the foundation to ensure that his vision of supporting local education and the arts would come to fruition. The foundation operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to providing scholarships and grants to deserving students and community initiatives.
