The Jim and Joyce Crosby Fund
The Jim and Joyce Crosby Fund supports a wide range of charitable causes and continues the family's legacy of community involvement and philanthropy.
In 2007, Mrs. Joyce Crosby established the James M. Crosby Fund in memory of her husband, a respected business leader in Saint John. Mr. Crosby's involvement with the Greater Saint John Community Foundation dates back to the late seventies, where he served on the Foundation's inaugural Board of Directors, representing the Saint John Board of Trade.
The fund was created to reflect their shared dedication to the community, with instructions to use it flexibly to address current needs without restrictions. In 2019, Mrs. Crosby requested the fund's name be changed to the Jim and Joyce Crosby Fund, a change the Foundation was honored to make. Mrs. Crosby remained a close friend of the Foundation until her passing in December 2021.
Today, the fund continues to honor the Crosby legacy, with its annual income supporting the most urgent needs of the community, as Mrs. Crosby envisioned. It is entrusted to the Greater Saint John Community Foundation to aid a wide range of charitable causes.
