FALL 2018
Exciting progress is being made on several projects funded by Bath Community Fund during its 2017 grant cycle. From a new picnic shelter at Bath Community Park to the grand opening of the Fairlawn Rotary Observatory in the Bath Nature Preserve, learn how our recent grants are improving every corner of the community.
This summer, our “For Bath, Forever” campaign co- chairs hosted soirees in their homes to introduce their friends and neighbors to Bath Community Fund. Our generous hosts provided delicious food and beverages while sharing why they believe Bath Community Fund — and our community’s future — is worth investing in. 
We're getting closer to our goal of raising $2.018 million in celebration of Bath's bicentennial. In June, sisters Amy Bowers and Cathy Leuenberger and their families made a joint pledge of $25,000 in honor of their parents, Walt & Elly Griffith, who were longtime Bath residents. We also received a $2,018 gift from Fred & Renee Zumpano as a tribute to the bicentennial celebration. We're grateful for both of these families and the many other generous donors who have supported this campaign with gifts totaling almost $715,000.
If you are a nonprofit representative with a program that enriches the Bath community and improves residents' quality of life, we encourage you to apply for a grant from Bath Community Fund! Approximately $20,000 will be available for grantmaking this year. Applications are due Oct. 1.
Last weekend, Bath Community Fund hosted a Girls Night Social to share the news about our "200 Years — 200 Women" campaign. The campaign celebrates Bath's bicentennial by encouraging people to make gifts in honor or memory of the special women in their lives. More of these events will be planned in the coming months to help the women of Bath "take the top of the (fundraising) triangle" with a collective gift of $250,000.
Join us for our last soiree of the year as we thank our supporters and share updates about the progress of our "For Bath, Forever" bicentennial campaign. You'll enjoy conversation, beverages and hors d'oeuvres at the historic Regal Beagle pavilion in the Bath Nature Preserve.
