The Marguerite Fund
The Marguerite Fund was established in June 1923 to aid our sisters who are in need of financial assistance. This fund was not established to assist only the elderly and ill, but for any member or non-member who needs assistance. The needs of each recipient are as individual as the recipients themselves. Requests for assistance are made through a Colorado P.E.O. sponsor to the chairman of the Marguerite Fund Board. Recipients must be a resident of Colorado. Names of recipients are never disclosed.
