Hearth Operating Reserve

Honoring the memory of founder Elsie Frank

As part of a series of 20th anniversary milestone celebrations, longtime Hearth supporters Bob Glassman, Pam Feingold, and Eastern Bank have made an exciting Leadership Grant of $25,000 in Elsie Frank’s memory to create an operating reserve for Hearth and to name Hearth’s first residence the Elsie Frank House. The $25,000 Leadership Gift kicks off a fundraising effort to encourage other donors to contribute an additional $75,000 towards this reserve that will enable Hearth’s housing programs to withstand fluctuations in public and private funding.

You can honor Elsie's memory by making a donation to the reserve. Checks should be made to Hearth, with "Elsie Frank" written on the memo line (or if making the gift online, by typing "Elsie Frank" into the "special instructions" field).
