Agnes M. Lindsay Trust

HISTORY Agnes M. Lindsay was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts on August 11, 1870 (Agnes Morton Snow). She was married to Edwin P. Lindsay, who predeceased her in May 1925. They owned a summer home located at the Uplands, Whittemore Point on Newfound lake in Bridgewater, New Hampshire that they referred to as "the farm." Mrs. Lindsay passed away on Feruary 16, 1937. "Her life was marked by a quiet generosity, seldom equaled. Through others she gave generously to every community project, and many individual needs. Perhaps no better tribute could be paid to her than the fact that those in her employ remained her faithful and interested personal friends." As stipulated in her Will, a Trust was established . . . The Agnes M. Lindsay Trust. Mrs. Lindsay left a great legacy and over the years this Trust has made a significant impact on many needy organizations and individuals providing millions of dollars in grants. OUR MISSION Agnes M. Lindsay's Will provides in part as follows: All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate . . . I give, devise and bequeath . . . . BUT IN TRUST, NEVERTHELESS . . . . to be held, managed and invested by said Trustees . . . . for any charitable, educational or philanthropic purposes . . . . having in mind my interest in the education of poor and deserving students from rural communities, my interest in the relief of suffering and my interest in child welfare . . . ." The Trust supports a number of health projects; oral health, special needs, blind, deaf and learning disabled, elderly, children's homes, youth organizations, youth and family services, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, food pantries, and summer enrichment programs/camps to name a few.
