Northfield Shares Community Fund

Anne Mayer’s dedication to Northfield extended beyond her love for music. As a former Board Member and Grants Chair for Northfield Shares (formerly Northfield Area Foundation), Anne believed in building a stronger, more connected Northfield. In a 2014 letter, she wrote of her vision for community philanthropy: “Our annual meetings and events have been quite successful in stimulating new benefactors and building up our image in the community.”

Her belief in community support and her commitment to uplifting local nonprofits inspired the creation of the Northfield Shares Community Fund.

The Northfield Shares Community Fund is an unrestricted endowment that provides grants for various community needs. From environmental projects to educational initiatives and social services, this fund supports Northfield’s nonprofits as they work to create a thriving, equitable, and resilient community. Open to contributions from all; this fund serves as a resource for Northfield Shares to address critical community needs today and for generations to come, reflecting Anne’s enduring belief in the power of collective impact.
