Sherman, TX - November 1, 2012 - Members of the Board of Directors of the Wilson N. Jones Community Foundation met with representatives of seven local 501(c)3 charities to award funding for requests which closely followed the guidelines of the mission of their foundation.
Chairman of the Board, Pete Kloppers, recognized all the charities who applied for grants, saying that "all requests were considered and all were found very worthy and deserving. The Allocations Committee had a very difficult task in making their recommendations to the Board for this funding consideration. The members of the Board met with a goal of making a real impact in our community, and we feel that by issuing these grants today we are accomplishing our goal of making a real impact in the community through the organizations whose projects we are helping fund today."
The Sherman Boys & Girls Club was awarded a grant to fund its Fitness and Nutrition Project. The Rehabilitation Center was awarded funding for rehabilitation services for the indigent.
