Thursday, October 20, 2005

The Fenn School in Concord has announced that it is adding an innovative program to its existing series of student-based community service activities. An anonymous family has generously established a $100,000 endowed fund, named the Fenn Philanthropy Fund. This fund will enable the school to establish a program to teach eighth- and ninth-grade boys how to make informed and wise decisions when donating to charitable causes. After learning how to navigate through the many worthy charitable options, boys at Fenn will now have the opportunity to make a series of meaningful grants to non-profit organizations each year, supported by the annual income of the fund. The Fenn Philanthropy Fund will also supplement the school's existing outreach efforts in community service and student-based charitable fund raising."
