Preserving History & Honoring Service
Michael J. Colligan Fund Grants
The Michael J. Colligan Fund stands as a lasting tribute to patriotism, service, and community pride, honoring the sacrifices of our nation’s veterans. Michael J.

The Michael J. Colligan Fund was established to preserve his legacy and values.
Today, the fund serves as a meaningful community resource, supporting efforts to recognize and honor veterans while promoting civic pride and patriotism.
