Katherine and Willard McRae Fund

Kathy and Willard have been involved with the Community Foundation since the very beginning – their love of community and belief in the ability of a group of people to address the issues and make a positive impact in the community have done so much for Middletown and Middlesex County.

Willard, a founding Director of the Community Foundation, and Kathy knew that CFMC would bring the Middlesex County community together to address the issues of today as well as the future and support organizations serving our region. Through their love of community, belief that education is the best foundation for a successful life, and desire to support the Community Foundation and its work, they chose to establish the Katherine and Willard McRae Fund at the Community Foundation.

“We want to enhance the educational experience of Middletown students and believe the Community Foundation will seek out and fund the best programs possible.”     -Willard and Kathy McRae

The Katherine and Willard McRae Fund is one of the many funds pooling resources to provide grants to organizations through the annual competitive grant application process at CFMC.
