Griffin Giving Circles program – Founding Members
As with all not-for-profit organizations, the uncertainty of and restrictions placed on everyday life in 2020 compelled Oysterponds Historical Society to re-imagine the ways that it fulfills its mission and connects with the community.
Not long after the pandemic took hold, OHS rolled out the Griffin Giving Circles program and the response was nothing short of remarkable, with numerous community leaders joining us as Founding Members. Their support fortified OHS’s financial health during a very tough stretch and positioned us to continue, and even expand, our activities for the East Marion and Orient communities.
To honor the commitment and generosity of the Griffin Giving Circles Founding Members, their names are permanently displayed on a brick in the Griffin Giving Walkway (pictured below), adjacent to OHS’s magnificent Poquatuck Park.
