Bette Graham founded the Bette Graham Foundation, which funded several projects, including grants for women in business.

Bette provided financial support to her son, Michael Nesmith, in his pursuit of a music career. She helped him purchase equipment and launch his early ventures. Her belief in his talent played a significant role in his success.

After selling Liquid Paper, Bette dedicated more time and resources to philanthropic causes. While specific details of all her charitable activities are not widely known, it is clear that she was committed to giving back to the community.
