The Milton Community Fund...
Charitable Giving...
- FOR the Milton Community
- FROM the people who love our Community
- TO preserve and protect a wonderful place in which to live, work and grow!
The Milton Community Fund was established in 1996 as a means for current and former residents to give back to the community through charitable contributions. Donations to the Milton Community Fund are placed into a permanent endowment fund of which grants are made to non-profit organizations in the Milton area. Typical grant recipients are in the areas of historical and environmental preservation, education, health care, youth programs and the elderly.
