The Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts<\/a> is thrilled to announce the establishment of a new fund dedicated to supporting the Bigelow Free Public Library in Clinton. The Foundation Fund has been made possible through the generosity of Gordon Graham and the Graham family, former residents of Clinton.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Graham family believes that the Clinton Bigelow Free Public Library, at the center of the great town of Clinton, is vital to helping our citizens enhance and improve their learning literacy skills to live a fuller life. Our family has enjoyed and appreciated what the library has brought to Clinton and hope to help with continuing this important public service.\u201d said Nicholas Graham of Belton, TX, the son of Gordon Graham. \u00a0Gordon\u2019s parents, Lillian and George Graham, immigrated to Clinton from their native Ireland and Gordon was born and raised here. Nicholas and his siblings spent most of their childhoods in Clinton, and Gordon lived out his final years in town until his death in 2012. All were regular library patrons.<\/p>\n

The newly established fund will provide vital financial support to enhance the services provided by the Bigelow Free Public Library. This resource will help to ensure that the library can continue to serve the town of Clinton with the excellence and dedication that Mr. Graham valued so highly.<\/p>\n

Says Marie Letarte, Director of the Bigelow Public Library, “We are deeply grateful for this generous gift. It will greatly assist us in our mission to offer invaluable resources and services to our community. This fund not only honors Mr. Graham’s legacy but also reinforces the library\u2019s role as a cornerstone of Clinton.”<\/p>\n

The Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts is honored to steward this fund, which joins a growing list of funds established to sustain nonprofits throughout the region. These funds play a crucial role in supporting local initiatives and ensuring the continued vitality of community services in the 33 towns the foundation serves.<\/p>\n

For those interested in exploring opportunities to make a difference in their own community, Erin Thomason, Director of Philanthropy at the Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts, is available to discuss potential gifts and contributions. Please reach out to Erin to learn more about how you can support the organizations and causes you care about.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
