Bill Guhl Fund

The Lawrence Township Community Foundation created the Bill Guhl Fund in 2005 to honor the 13 years of service of retiring Municipal Manager Bill Guhl. Mr. Guhl had previously served as Mercer County administrator and as the business administrator for Trenton, NJ.

Personal and business donors donated $25,000 in order to launch the Bill Guhl Fund, which will be reserved for selected grant recipients and community service projects. The Lawrence Township Community Foundation will continue to raise funds for both the Bill Guhl Fund and its general fund, which is used to award grants to nonprofit groups that serve Lawrence Township, New Jersey.
