The Ward & Brenda Morgan Community Fund, administered by the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation (GMCF), supports projects focused on community connection or assistance for vulnerable people. Its community-experience priority emphasizes affordable, amazing experiences that bring people together and create memories. Its other priority supports vulnerable or disadvantaged elderly people and youth.
Projects may address either priority; they do not need to combine community experiences with support for the named populations.
