The Derby Fund

Donation protected
The Derby Fund honors Bill and Mary Derby, who have spent their lives in service to the social, educational, and spiritual needs of their community. For thirty-five years, Bill was a beloved faculty member in the History Department at SUNY Geneseo. Mary has spent decades advocating for the needs of physically and developmentally-disabled community members and their families. Throughout their lives, they’ve been active, dedicated members of the Catholic Church. 
 
The Derby Fund, when fully endowed, will support the causes Bill and Mary have always held most dear: history education, individuals with disabilities and their families, and Catholic Charities.

This GoFundMe campaign will allow us to reach the $10,000 required to establish an endowment, which will honor Bill and Mary's life and work into perpetuity. The funds we receive through this campaign will be withdrawn from GoFundMe into the personal bank account of Matthew Derby, creator of the campaign, and then directly transferred to The Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo (https://www.cfgb.org), through which the endowment will be established.
