One of this area's jewels, Bath is known for its natural beauty and rural character. Nature preserves, equestrian trails, woodlands and century-old farms make this community a treasure among its residents.
Established in 2014 by a committed group of those residents, Bath Community Fund is a permanent endowment dedicated to strengthening the Bath community for current and future generations by providing leadership, fostering collaboration, and creating a legacy of charitable giving. The fund accepts grant applications for programs that preserve the township’s historical and environmental legacy, enhance the local arts and culture landscape, serve youth through education and recreation, and meet residents’ social service needs.
To date, Bath Community Fund has invested more than $150,000 into local causes that enrich the quality of life of all Bath residents.
