Since 1975, generous individuals, families and organizations have used the Foundation to manage their charitable giving through a named fund.

Whether you want to be involved in your giving or leave it up to us, we offer a number of funds that will help you support nonprofit organizations in Worcester County in your lifetime and in perpetuity.
