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. |
