Montgomery County Community Foundation Grant

Montgomery County Family YMCA Press Release (Red Oak, Iowa)
The
Montgomery County Family YMCA of Red Oak, Iowa would like to thank the
Montgomery County Community Foundation Advisory Board for the recent exciting
news that the YMCA was a recipient of a $10,000 Montgomery County Field of
Interest grant made possible by the Montgomery County Community Foundation!
This
grant will be used to enhance the experience of members of the YMCA and guests
with new plastic lockers in the women’s/girl’s locker room that will be
installed sometime in July, 2015. The new lockers will be maintenance free so
this will assist the YMCA in lowering some maintenance cost for repairs and
care of the current metal lockers that are approaching 14 years of facility
usage.
The
Montgomery County Community Foundation works with individuals, families,
businesses and organizations to create permanent funds that address the
changing vital community needs and interests. Donating to a permanently endowed
fund helps your neighbors today and you help build a stronger community
tomorrow. The foundation then invests and administers these funds and
distributes grants to deserving, qualified nonprofit organizations. The goal of
the Montgomery County Community Foundation grant program is to improve the
quality of life in the county by supporting needs that are not being met in the
areas of civic, cultural, health education, and social service.
The
Montgomery County Family YMCA once again wishes to thank all the members of the
Foundation Board along with the Community Foundations of Southwest Iowa staff
for their time and willingness to help administer this program to truly make
impressive impacts by funding so many outstanding and wonderful programs to
many worthwhile organizations within our county.
