The following announcement was provided by Marshall Home Fund:
Watertown’s Marshall Home Fund recently awarded $77,500 to local organizations, fulfilling its goal of serving Watertown’s older adults. Some grantees provide direct services that meet the financial, medical and emotional needs of isolated older adults, needs that were more evident than ever this past year. Other grantees sponsor programs for groups of older adults; they are eager to resume offering fun activities and opportunities for social interaction. The following lists all the 2021 grantees, organized according to World Health Organization goals for an age friendly community, one where all older residents can be healthy and productive. This is a goal everyone has come to value more than ever after a difficult year apart from each other.
The following announcement was provided by the Marshall Home Fund:
The Marshall Home Fund is encouraging public and non-profit organizations to submit innovative proposals that support Watertown’s efforts to be an Age-Friendly Community—a place where older adults can live, thrive, and contribute. While proposals for a range of programs are welcome, the fund is particularly interested in projects addressing unmet needs in housing and transportation, and in strategies to better inform older adults about the services that are available to them. The Request for Proposals will be available on February 6, 2020 and proposals will be due March 13, 2020. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the Program Grant Information Session on February 6, 12:30-2:00 at the WSB Room in the Watertown Free Public Library and to visit marshallhomefund.org. To RSVP to the Information Session and for additional information, contact info@marshallhomefund.org
Established in 2005, the Marshall Home Fund is a nonprofit, community-based charitable foundation dedicated to serving Watertown’s older adult population (age 55 plus).
The following announcement was provided by the Marshall Home Fund:
The Marshall Home Fund recently received the final payment from the Henry H. Drew Trust. This trust was originally written in 1930. Henry H. Drew was a Watertown resident. The 1930 Watertown directory lists him as a “gold refiner.” His will stated that any funds remaining in his estate after the death of his heirs was to be divided between the Watertown Home for Old Folks, now known as The Marshall Home Fund, and the Cambridge Home for the Aged, now known as Neville Place. This past year the managers of the remaining funds began a series of payments to the two named entities. The total amount received from the trust to each was $90,470.14, a truly outstanding gift thanks to the thoughtfully drawn estate of Mr. Drew.
Perhaps Mr. Drew was grateful to the services provided to loved ones at each of the named facilities.
