ROOF Receives $30k Grant from Moseley Foundation

The trustees of the Edward S. and Winifred G. Moseley Foundation recently granted $30,000 to ROOF to support our pioneering work in providing transitional housing to homeless families.  The Moseley Foundation grant is the initial charitable contribution to ROOF.

"We are grateful to the Moseley Foundation for starting us on the path to providing transitional housing for homeless children and their families," said ROOF Chairperson Norma Beit.  "Moseley Foundation's support solidifies the resolve of the many local people who have donated money, time, and talent during the past few months.  ROOF is committed to improving the lives of local homeless people, especially children, who are so traumatically impacted by homelessness."

The Moseley Foundation limits its support to organizations that foster the health, education, safety, and welfare of children, with a particular emphasis on organizations within the greater Boston area.  The late Edward and Winifred Moseley of West Newbury, donors of the foundation, wanted grants to reflect their interests and values, such as the support of families and children in need.
