Meserve Funds Plans Grants

WILTON — The Meserve Memorial Fund Distribution Committee is currently accepting applications from non-profit organizations for the second round of grant awards during 2001. The deadline for proposals is Monday, October 1.

The Fund was established in 1983, a legacy of the late Mr and Mrs Albert W. Meserve, to support a wide range of public, charitable, and educational projects and organizations that have an impact on the Greater Danbury area. The region served by the Meserve Memorial Fund encompasses Bethel, Bridgewater, Brookfield, Danbury, New Fairfield, New Milford, Newtown, Redding, Ridgefield, and Sherman. Grants are made only to 501 (c) 3 tax exempt organizations.

Generally, no grant recipient will receive more than one award in a year’s time. For a copy of the Meserve guidelines contact the Fairfield County Foundation office in Wilton at 203-834-9393. If you have specific questions on the Fund and would like further information, please ask for Linda Cummins.
