“Falmouth benefits from an incredible variety of worthy nonprofits, and I enthusiastically contribute to many of them. But I am also attracted to the idea of leaving a legacy that will support the community as a whole – a legacy that can respond to changing situations and opportunities. By investing in The Falmouth Fund, I can be confident that my contributions will be a catalyst for making Falmouth an even better place. I can become a true community philanthropist.”
