Shickley

What makes this last round of grantmaking special in this town of about 350 people is that the Fund has now surpassed the $100,000 mark in community reinvestment, the majority of that occurring in the last 10 years.  Most of those grants have been made from earnings on the Fund’s endowment account.

Beverly and Gene Johnson
