Agency Endowment & Named Funds
The Anne Goheen Crane Endowment Fund
The agency’s principal endowment fund provides unrestricted funds that can be directed to areas of
greatest need. It is used to support mission commitments to keep services accessible to all, regardless
of ability to pay. It provides the ability to anticipate changing needs, respond to the unexpected and
to be less vulnerable to economic fluctuations.
The Ethel G. and Arthur B. Toan, Jr. Fund
This fund provides unrestricted support that can be directed to any area of need within the agency.
Endowment for Medical Services
A dedicated endowment fund that was launched in 2010 to support the new Medical Services and
Advocacy Center for children in foster care and to support other vulnerable children.
The Anne and John Oros Fund
This fund provides dedicated college scholarship support for children who were fostered as infants by
the Oros family and in the future, to support other teens who have aged out of foster care and are
attending college.
Margaret Pasmantier Community Life Education Fund
Established in memory of Margaret Pasmantier, a long-time agency volunteer, this funds a variety of
community educational programs.
Julie Lynne Zipper Memorial Fund
This fund was established in memory of Julie Lynne Zipper, a tragic victim of the World Trade Center
attacks of 2001. As a lasting tribute to Julie and in recognition of her love for the Turrell Child Care
& Early Learning Center in Paramus – attended by her son Jason – the fund provides scholarships for
staff members who wish to further their education in early childhood learning.
The Thomas R.S. Burgin Parents Fund
This fund provides financial assistance to teens aging out of foster care and attending college or
vocational training. It is also available to fund tutoring and other special educational needs for
children in the agency’s care. The transition to college can be difficult for many teens, and for those
leaving foster care and lacking the usual family support system, this transition is harder. Teens
graduating from foster care within the State are eligible for free tuition, room, board, and selected
educational expenses, provided they study in New Jersey. However, they have no means of financial
assistance to fund clothing, toiletries or other day-to-day living expenses. The Thomas R.S. Burgin
Parents Fund provides this support, as well as serves as a source of emergency funding for any former
client of one of our foster care programs.
The Barbara Abney Bolger Fund
Formed in honor of long-standing volunteer and Honorary Board member, Barbara Abney Bolger, the
Fund provides for the maintenance, renovation and other capital needs of the Woodlea and PATH I
group homes.
The Leda M. Jadrosich Fund
Established in memory of Leda M. Jadrosich, this fund supports all aspects of the agency’s adoption
services for vulnerable infants, children and teens – from helping them heal to recruiting loving
adoptive families for them.
The Ruth L. and William F. Warmington Fund
An endowed fund to support the core infrastructure needs of the agency, such as communications,
development, and professional development.
