Derby Historical Society receives $20,500 in grant funds

The Derby Community Foundation recently awarded a total of $20,500 in grants to the Derby Historical Society.

A Community Enrichment Grant was awarded in the amount of $2,500 and will help fund renovations to the restrooms at the Derby Historical Museum. The Enrichment Grant program is a competitive grant process which annually awards up to $10,000 in grants to local non-profits and is funded by the proceeds of Uncorked, the DCF’s annual gala event.

An anonymous Field of Interest Fund of the Derby Community Foundation awarded $18,000 to the Derby Historical Society. $2,500 will be used for museum restroom renovations. That amount is matching the Community Enrichment Grant.
