“The Strimbu Memorial Fund awarded these grants to help local organizations assist those in need, in our community. Our local organizations have established programs that have attained successful results in assisting the less fortunate,” said Bill Strimbu. “We also have supported local economic development and job training initiatives to help lift individual’s standard of living.”
Since its creation in 1990, the Strimbu Memorial Fund has provided over $4 million in donations to local economic development, individuals, scholarships and charitable organizations.
“We continue to perpetuate the legacy of Nick Strimbu Jr. of philanthropic giving to assist with the needs of our community,” said President of the Board Jim Grasso. “Now in our 33rd year, we still aspire to give a hand up, not a hand out.”
