The Frazier/ Lattimer Legacy Giving Society

The Frazier/Lattimer Society recognizes the generosity of individuals who have designated the Granville Community Foundation as a beneficiary in their estate plans. This distinguished group of donors demonstrates a remarkable commitment to the future of our community. Whether through a will, trust, retirement plan, or life insurance, each gift—regardless of size—helps ensure a vibrant, thriving Granville for generations to come. We are deeply grateful for their lasting impact and unwavering support.

The Society is named in honor of Carl Frazier and Harriet Lattimer. Mr. Frazier, a founder of the Foundation in 1971, was admired for his longstanding and deep commitment to the Granville community. Mrs. Lattimer, a longtime Granville resident, made an extraordinary gift through her estate in 2006 that transformed the Foundation’s ability to serve the citizens of Granville.
