Historic South End Fund

Honoring a historic community while investing in its future

The Historic South End Fund supports efforts to strengthen and preserve the Historic South End community in Kent, Ohio. The fund helps create opportunities that promote the health, education, and economic well-being of the neighborhood and its residents.

A key focus of the fund is the continued growth and improvement of the Thomas-Anderson Memorial Garden—a place that honors the families and individuals who once called the Historic South End home while also serving the community today as a gathering space, food source, and place for learning.

By investing in both the people and the places that define this historic neighborhood, the fund helps preserve its legacy while creating opportunities for generations to come.
