Ipswichs Ascension Memorial Episcopal Church recently announced a new funding source for qualified applicants through the Helen Ayer Childrens Enrichment Grant. The mission of the Ayer Childrens Enrichment Grant is to provide funding for nonprofit organizations, individuals and programs that focus on the well-being, education and development of children in Ipswich. The Ayer Childrens Enrichment Grant is named in memory of Ascension Memorial Church parishioner Helen H. Ayer, formerly of Hamilton. Ascension is grateful to the Ayer family and thrilled to support the enrichment of Ipswich children through the Ayer Grants, the Rev. Bradford Clark said. We are especially proud to announce this new source of funding as we celebrate our 150th Anniversary this year, and continue to live out our core values of flourishing, family, community. Ascension will evaluate requests for funding of new or enhanced programs, services or other offerings from individuals and organizations who serve the Ipswich early childhood and youth communities. Disbursement of funding shall give greater consideration to requests aligned with Ascensions core values: flourishing giving abundantly with care and compassion in service to others; family being real, welcoming and supportive to all; and community sharing each others lives and building relationships with those near and far. Ascension Memorial Church is currently accepting applications through May 15. Applications are available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day but Thursday in the parish office, 31 County St., Ipswich.
