Intended applicants: Supports the efforts that benefit the elder residents of the Greater Manchester area. The area specifically includes the towns of Allenstown, Auburn, Bedford, Candia, Deerfield, Dunbarton, Goffstown, Hooksett, Manchester, and New Boston.
Summary: The roots of the Pearl Manor Fund began in 1875 with a small group of 24 Manchester-area women who banded together to serve the needs of the greater community. They sought inclusivity – any woman could join the work of the Society for an annual fee of 50 cents.
The Women’s Aid and Relief Society had a strong impact on the mill town of their day and created positive change in hundreds of lives. Their work evolved as the community did, remaining committed to housing and nursing needs and transforming their buildings and services to match; from opening the area’s first hospital to creating Pearl Manor.
