JFHML Endowment Fund
A Partner Fund of the Initiative FoundationAbout the Fund
The Jessie F. Hallett Memorial Library was a gift to the community from E.W. Hallett in memory of his wife Jessie. The Library has been the legacy of E.W. Hallett, who was so important to the development of Crosby and the Cuyuna Range. The mission of the library was then and is now to inform, educate and culturally enrich the entire multigenerational Cuyuna Lakes community.
As a Partner Fund of the Initiative Foundation, all JFHML Endowment Fund contributions are professionally managed and stewarded for the benefit of the community now and long into the future.
