Margaret J. Sinnock Fund

Margaret Sinnock probably did not view herself as a pioneer. We do.

In 1998, Margaret established the Community Foundation’s very first individual fund, paving the way for more to come. Although Margaret was never rich, she had worked hard in her lifetime and had always saved. Her financial advisor explained to Margaret how she could make a difference with her charitable gift.

“I like that the fund is endowed and promotes permanent support for the community as it grows,” Margaret said.

Thus, the Margaret J. Sinnock Fund was established with her Community Foundation and Margaret generously supported the fund through her estate. Because the fund is unrestricted, grants go to support needs and opportunities in the Community Foundation’s 12-county service region.
