MISSION STATEMENT
To provide resources to area folks living with MS to help them maintain their independence and quality of life.
The Finch Fund was established in 2018 in the memory of our friend, Bob Finch, who suffered from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). From age 56 he spent the last 15 years of his life in a nursing home because he lacked the resources to remain independent.
In our first five years of existence, we have awarded more than 30 grants totaling over $91,000. All of which created Immediate and impactful positive changes in the lives of local people living with MS.
We are on a steady path to topping the $100,000 in grants milestone in 2024!
