Walnut Grove
Foundation
The
Walnut Grove Foundation's goal is to establish a $500,000 permanent fund.
Each year earned interest from this trust will be reinvested into our
community through
a yearly grant application process. The Walnut Grove Foundation Board
each year
determines to whom the interest is granted. The organizations are to
be of 501(c)3
status. So as the base grows, additional monies through the grant
system can be
awarded. Grants have been awarded for restoration, enhancing parks,
creating new
events, signage, medical, and more.
