Lynam funds boost local nonprofits
MOUNT DESERT ISLAND –With grants totaling $154,000, this year’s Hattie A. & Fred C. Lynam Trust recipients from Mount Desert Island say they plan to put the funds to good use across their organizations. For some it means being able to operate in the coming year and for others the funds will be used to expand programming or meet other critical needs.
The recipients were selected by Bar Harbor Trust Services, which helps to support charitable, religious and education organizations that are specifically beneficial to the people of Mount Desert Island.
The bank, through the Lynam Trust awarded grants to 30 organizations, including the Abbe Museum, Bar Harbor Food Pantry, Camp Beech Cliff, Harbor House Community Center, Neighborhood House, Mount Desert Nursing Association and Southwest Harbor Public Library.
