The activities of the Franklin Legacy Fund will be suspended for the time being.
The needs of the community have changed and so, after six years of operation, the Franklin Legacy Fund is refocusing its work. We will be continuing efforts toward the sustainability of nonprofits, through grants and education, but redirecting our interest areas.
In the fall, we will be accepting applications in the areas of child, teen and family mental health, homelessness and hunger. One of our purposes in sharing our focus is to ask visitors to the website to recommend nonprofits that are doing an outstanding job in any of those areas.

As if running a charitable institution isn’t enough, add in all the restrictions to our lives that have been imposed on us in the past year plus due to the pandemic and you have a formula for cumulative stress that could lead to leadership and staff exhaustion.
