The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has made a grant to the Dedham Exchange. Grant funds will be used to support the organization’s capital campaign, including making improvements to preserve and update the circa 1869 historical building with necessary repairs and capital improvements to help support the organization’s mission.
ABOUT THE DEDHAM EXCHANGE
Since 1914, the Dedham Exchange has provided a venue for artisans, predominantly women, to sell their handmade goods at discounted prices. For many, this income is necessary to help support their families. Their mission is also to donate to local nonprofit educational and philanthropic organizations which serve women, children and families, including HESSCO Meals on Wheels, Riverside Community Care, Dress for Success, Wily Foundation, Dedham Youth Commission, Dedham Educational Foundation, Westwood Children and Family Services, Hale Education and Dedham Community House for camp scholarships.
ABOUT DEDHAM SAVINGS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
The Dedham Savings Community Foundation was formed by Dedham Savings for the purpose of funding requests from community organizations which provide services to the communities that they serve. These communities generally, but not exclusively, include Dedham, Needham, Norwood, Sharon, South Boston, Walpole, and Westwood. Typical requests are usually received from such organizations as schools, libraries, family service organizations and non-profit organizations. The Trustees of the Foundation will accept grant requests from community organizations and make awards twice a year.
