Always Sharing, The Bill Clifford Family Legacy Fund
Bill Clifford grew up in Northfield. After living and working in other communities in his early adult years, he moved back to Northfield and purchased Waterford Oil, embarking on a lifetime of entrepreneurship. Bill was generous with his time and resources, and mentored many young people during his life.
When the private foundation Bill established became too cumbersome to manage, the Clifford children approached Northfield Shares to initiate the Bill Clifford Family Legacy Fund. The fund annually distributes grant funding to local nonprofits, for use in programs directed toward youth development, honoring Bill’s passion for encouraging and guiding young people. Through this fund, held and managed by Northfield Shares, Bill will continue making the community that he loved a better place for many years to come.
