In 1987, the family established the Grave Family Fund with a preference for the health needs of people who live and work in New Haven County. The Fund, a memorial to departed Grave family members, recognizes the continuing journey that Frederick D. Grave began at Osterweis in 1873. His grandson, Frederick III, whose daughter is memorialized by the fund, calls it, "a headstone, but better, since it goes on in perpetuity and can change the community."
One generation mentors the next, helping high achieving and community-driven Black students from area high schools succeed in education and life.
