#BruceFraserFund

Please consider a special contribution to the Bruce Fraser Fund for the Humanities in Public Life, a dedicated fund named in honor of Connecticut Humanities’ longtime executive director. Bruce Fraser brought forth ConnecticutHistory.org, our state’s online public history resource, which has already attracted more than one million unique visitors! The Fraser Fund supports this rich compilation of state heritage, as well as other initiatives, such as Teach It and Connecticut History Day, designed to bring Connecticut history to life for future generations.

Contribute $25 or more by June 30, 2016, and we’ll send you two free passes to the new exhibit at the Connecticut Historical Society, Growing Up in Connecticut. Learn more about this exhibit at at www.chs.org.

Be one of the Top 5 donors to this appeal – or contribute $250 or more by June 30 – and you can choose a community we will spotlight on ConnecticutHistory.org!

Thank you for remembering Bruce Fraser’s legacy with a contribution today.

Bruce Fraser led Connecticut Humanities for 30 years as its executive director before his untimely passing in 2010. Bruce believed passionately that the humanities hold the key to productive and meaningful lives. He dedicated his professional life to creating opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to engage in the reflection, informed debate, and critical thinking at the heart of the humanities.

Perhaps Bruce’s greatest achievement was ConnecticutHistory.org, a website that features stories about the people, traditions, innovations, and events that define the Nutmeg State. You can browse concise essays — by town, topic, or person — that are a timely mix of fun and fact, famous and obscure, surprising and serious.

ConnecticutHistory.org connects readers instantly with images, documents, and objects housed at heritage organizations throughout the state.
