Discretionary Fund

A former director of religious education at First Baptist Church, he was a benefactor of the church’s education facility. He has endowed a scholarship at Clark University and contributed to the refurbishment of their theater. Even after his death in 2001, Dick’s legacy of kindness will continue through this bequest to create a permanent discretionary fund.

Donor Advised Fund

Maureen Logan Coghlin Fund
Since 1885 the Coghlin name has been synonymous with innovation. Electricity was a new invention when the son of a boot maker in Southborough, John P. Coghlin, became intrigued by the marvels of modern technology. His descendent Edwin B. "Ted" Coghlin, Jr. is president of Coghlin Construction Services, Inc., part of the expanded and diversified Coghlin family enterprise. To pursue his passion for community betterment, he created this donor-advised fund in honor of his wife Maureen Logan Coghlin. She and their daughters will serve as fund advisors. To maximize his resources, Ted gave shares of his privately-held company to start this fund.

For years the rural landscapes of Central Massachusetts have provided special pleasure for West Boylston residents Bob and Carol Hyde.
