"I didn't know much about the Foundation at the time, so I took the assignment out of a sense of duty. I realized what a good thing this would be for our community. So I stuck with it."

Two funds, the Bessie C.B. Capron Fund and Henry T. Dorrance Memorial Fund, joined the endowment in 1961. A third, the Ellen Knower Clarke Fund, was in the fold by the time the decade closed. The Capron Fund became the Foundation’s largest to date and the Dorrance Fund was its first to the honor the memory of a founding director. 1968 brought the retirement of Roy Van Denbergh from the presidency and the election of Addison White to take his place. By 1969 the Foundation had $472,718.49 in assets to its name and within that decade was able to allocate 38 grants totaling $40,998.00. During this time grants were given to organizations such as Boy Scouts of America, Parkway Senior Center, Faxton-St. Luke's Memorial Hospital, Hamilton College for Scholarships and St. Elizabeth Medical Center among others. |
