Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1913, Margaret "Peggy" Heins came to the United States in 1935 where she met and married her husband, Teddy. During her lifetime, she worked for the British Embassy, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in New York City before retiring to Cocoa Beach in 1972. Peggy loved living in Brevard County and especially enjoyed gardening, dancing, and the arts. Prior to her death in January of 2001, she directed much of her estate to be used for the exclusive benefit of Brevard County residents.
The Margaret Heins Foundation was created by the late Margaret Heins to support the work of tax-exempt, not-for-profit organizations in Brevard County. Board of Trustee members were close personal friends and advisors of Mrs. Heins and now oversee the distribution of funds in accordance with her wishes.
The Space Coast Art Festival is appreciative of the funding from The Margaret Heins Foundation in support of the Student Art Show.
