The Duff McDuff Green, Jr. Fund
In April 2010, the Trust created by Duff McDuff Green Jr. established a fund at the Community Foundation intended to support – in a timeless way – the causes he cared so deeply about. Among Mr. Green's passions were preserving land and providing opportunities for children to have healthy outdoor activities.
