GREENFIELD , NH — The Harry Gregg Foundation (HGF) in Greenfield, NH, which provides funds to New Hampshire residents with disabilities, recently received a $2,500 donation from Ocean Bank.

"Applications to the HGF have doubled over the past 18 months. This donation will help us continue to provide the level of support many low-income New Hampshire residents with disabilities need to remain independent and active members of their communities," said Don Shumway, president of the HGF.

The Harry Gregg Foundation gives grants to people in New Hampshire with disabilities for products and services that will improve their independence and quality of life.

The foundation board of trustees meets four times a year to review applications. Grants are limited to $1,200, but are often less due to the large numbers of applications received.

Applications and guidelines are available at www.crotchedmountain.org, or by calling 603-547-3311, ext 1490.

The Hary Gregg Foundation is an Independent Operating Foundation Supported by Crotched Mountain.
