Spring 2021
In December, Bath Community Fund celebrated a significant milestone, reaching $1 million in total gifts and pledges from nearly 300 generous donors since the fund's creation in 2014.

With an endowment of this size, the fund will now be able to award approximately $50,000 in grants each year in perpetuity to the nonprofits serving the Bath community. These grants will preserve the township's environmental legacy, enhance the local arts and culture landscape, meet residents' social service needs, and so much more.
This also means Bath Community Fund has grown to 100 times its establishing gift amount of $10,000 in less than seven years! During that time, the fund has fulfilled its mission by giving more than $100,000 back to the Bath community through grants to area nonprofits. These accomplishments are made possible by the generosity of supporters like you and by the power of endowment. Gifts to an endowment fund are invested and grown over time, which means a gift made to Bath Community Fund today will still be benefiting our township 100 years from now.
As we look ahead to the next million-dollar milestone, we hope you'll join us in ensuring our grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all future generations of Bath residents can thrive in this treasured community. Thank you for helping us to build a legacy in Bath!
This Mother's Day season, you can honor
