The Wayne County Endowment Advisory Committee (together with the Rochester Area Community Foundation) announced last week the awarding of $29,400 in grants to eight nonprofit organizations serving the Wayne County community. Organizations receiving grants are: Bishop Sheen Ecumenical Services, Finger Lakes Visiting Nurse Service, Historic Palmyra, Home Meals Service, Lyons Community Center, Montezuma Audubon Center, NAMI Rochester, and Rochester Chapter of Young Audiences, Inc.
This permanent endowment fund was started in 1984 with charitable gifts from the estate of Nettie Bullis, who believed strongly in her community, education, and projects that improved the quality of life.
This community is grateful to Nettie Bullis for these most-recent gifts. As we pointed out in a post a few months ago, her New England frugality and business acumen allowed her to accumulate the capital she used to create an endowment that will benefit this area for generations to come.
Again, we thank you Nettie Bullis.
