Natick Historical Society Gets $5K Donation

NATICK, MA — The Natick Historical Society got a hefty grant from MutualOne Bank’s Charitable Foundation. The $5,000 grant will support the Natick Historical Society’s “On This Land” program.

According to Niki Lefebvre, Natick Historical Society director, “On this land: Algonquian and English People in Early Natick” will highlight diversity and create meaningful engagement with the past to help young people feel, no matter their background, they belong in our local communities.

“We are pleased to support the Natick Historical Society’s mission to conserve, interpret, and share historic elements of our past,” said Haranas. “This new program will be presented to all third-grade students in Natick public schools at no cost to the town.”

The $5,000 grant to Natick Historical Society was among awards totaling $109,020 in the MutualOne Charitable Foundation’s most recent round of funding.

Established in 1998 as the philanthropic arm of MutualOne Bank, the MutualOne Charitable Foundation has since donated over $4.4 million to charitable, educational, and civic initiatives that improve and enrich the quality of life in Framingham, Natick, and surrounding communities.
