Hershey and his wife established the [[Milton Hershey School|Hershey Industrial School]] with a Deed of Trust in 1909.<ref>[http://www.mhs-pa.org/about/history/3803/data.pdf "Milton Hershey School Deed of Trust"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101101170255/http://mhs-pa.org/about/history/3803/data.pdf |date=2010-11-01 }} November 15, 1909 (As restated on November 15, 1976)</ref>

In 1918, Hershey transferred the majority of his assets, including control of the company, to the [[Hershey Trust Company|Milton Hershey School Trust]] fund, to benefit the Industrial School. The trust fund has a majority of voting shares in the Hershey Company, allowing it to keep control of the company. In 1951, the school was renamed the Milton Hershey School. The Milton Hershey School Trust also has 100% control of [[Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company]], which owns the [[Hotel Hershey]] and [[Hersheypark]], among other properties.

Hershey built [[Hershey Cemetery]] on Laudermilch Road in [[Hershey, Pennsylvania]]. On July 31, 1923, Hershey transferred the land into a cemetery for $1.00.<ref name=" Hershey_Cemetery"/><ref name="interment">{{cite web |url=http://www.interment.net/data/us/pa/dauphin/hershey/records-h-l.htm |title=Hershey Cemetery, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania |publisher=Interment.com |access-date=September 5, 2018}}</ref>

In 1935, Hershey established the M.S. Hershey Foundation, a private charitable foundation that provides educational and cultural opportunities for Hershey residents.<ref>The Philanthropy Hall of Fame, [http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/almanac/hall_of_fame/milton_hershey Milton Hershey]</ref> The foundation supplies funding for three entities: the [[Hershey Museum]] and [[Hershey Gardens]], the [[Hershey Theatre]] and the Hershey Community Archives.

The founding of the [[Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center]] occurred in 1963 when the board of the trust went to the [[Dauphin County]] Orphans Court with the ''[[cy-près doctrine]]'' (''cy près'' is a French phrase meaning "As close as possible"). It was a gift from the Milton Hershey School Trust to the people of [[Pennsylvania]], with an initial endowment of $50 million and only one restriction—the hospital had to be built in Hershey. The hospital is a [[teaching hospital]], with an annual budget exceeding the initial construction cost.
