“The Shirley Charitable Foundation, through generous donations, has made concerts possible at Shirley's Historic Meetinghouse that entertains the public and teaches the amateur musician.”

— Holly J. Haase,
Shirley Cultural Council

“The Shirley Charitable Foundation has provided management and financial support that has enabled the Friends of the Shirley Council on Aging to undertake a number of fund raising activities resulting in the funding of a senior Outreach Coordinator, programs and services for seniors in the newly established Council on Aging Senior Center and the printing of a new Shirley telephone book. The Friends and the seniors are the beneficiaries of the Foundation’s effective leadership, support and commitment to the community.”
