The Franklin Legacy Fund will primarily focus on the educational components (classes, workshops, coaching, website and social media development, stress-reduction) that provide non-profit leadership with the tools to achieve those ends. Our focus in 2021 will be on children’s welfare, the environment, the arts and social justice. After hearing about the appalling number of children in our county who are experiencing homelessness, we have decided to concentrate our efforts in that area this first year.
