SCHILDBERG GRANT
The Montgomery County Family YMCA of Red Oak, Iowa recently received a $2,000 grant from the E.F. & Sylvia Schildberg Foundation from Greenfield, Iowa.
The grant will assist the YMCA with Indoor Tennis Facility Enhancements that have and will continue to take place this late spring and into early summer. The project has consisted of installation of new LED indoor tennis center lighting, repainting the tennis courts at the end of May, new tennis nets and painting ten and under tennis lines for more youth and family tennis play.
The Schildberg Construction Company of Greenfield, Iowa was founded in 1936 by a great husband and wife team, E.F. and Sylvia Schildberg. The couple valued hard work, honesty, loyalty and desire to help others. The company prospered over the years. E.F. and Sylvia always gave a great share of credit for their success to their employees and customers.
On September 30, 1986, fifty years after the founding of the Schildberg Construction Company, the Schildberg Foundation was created by Sylvia Schildberg as an expression of appreciation to the people of this area. The purpose of the Foundation is to give financial assistance to non-profit, charitable, educational or other causes that better the human condition and encourage community betterment. It was Sylvia’s hope that in helping others the ultimate reward would be for that same dedication to be passed on to future generations.
To learn more about the E. F. & Sylvia Schildberg Foundation one can contact the foundation office in Greenfield, Iowa at 515-743-2131.
