There is no better time than now to help continue the Watertown Foundation’s legacy of support for the many special qualities that make greater Watertown an extraordinary community. Membership is open to the public.
Being a member of the Watertown Foundation enables individuals, families, businesses, organizations, and corporations to expand our tradition of “Connecting our Community Through Giving.” Quite simply, more members equal more scholarships and grants to benefit our community.
As a member you can then decide on the level of involvement that is best for you. All members are invited to our Annual Meeting and Dinner held each October so that they may learn of our activities during the previous year and plans for the future. Most members choose to make an annual contribution in any amount they choose. Some members also serve on a Watertown Foundation Committee.

The Scholarship Committee uses this information to determine financial need.
