The Josephine Goodyear Foundation is seeking applications for grants to build the Josephine Goodyear Convalescent Home on Main Street in Williamsville, New York.
Donor Name: Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo
State: New York
Village: Williamsville
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 08/15/2022
Size of the Grant: $300,000
Details:
The home housed disadvantaged women and children and provided pre-operative services to prepare them for the rigors of early surgery and to provide post-surgery recovery. After World War II, with the development of antibiotics, the need for such services was greatly reduced. The property was then sold, and the foundation was established.
The Josephine Goodyear Foundation Fund now funds approximately 50 annual grants totaling about $300,000.
