AFFILIATE:
John D. Grubb & Louise G. Sumner Fund for Monroe County
In 1998, John D. Grubb and his sister Louise G. Sumner, made a permanent charitable endowment to establish the Fund for Monroe County. Two programs were set up within the fund to meet the broad needs of the county. The first, a scholarship program to help secure advanced educational opportunities for students and the second, a general grantmaking program to leave a philanthropic legacy dedicated to improving the lives of residents of Monroe County.
