The Middle School also received a grant to provide materials for a MakerSpace Lab, and Susan Wojtowicz, a MMS English teacher received a grant to purchase 4 classroom sets of novels in verse to encourage student reading.  A special $5,000 donor-advised grant was awarded to Hardy County Schools to help support the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program, which sends one book each month free of charge to any Hardy County child from birth to age five enrolled in the program.

The John R. and Agnes J. Mathias Fund and William “Bill” Sloan and Family Community Giving Fund are both providing funding for the Lost River Project’s Music in the Park summer live music program.

According to Amy Pancake, the Foundation’s Director, funding requests continue to increase. “We received many exceptional applications, including requests from several new organizations,” she said. “We are so pleased and thankful to be able to support a diversity of organizations that are doing such impactful work in our community. Our grants connect our donors and nonprofits around a common desire to build a stronger community and we’ve certainly seen that happen with this grant cycle,” she added. Pancake also said there will be a second grant cycle in late summer focused primarily on schools.

Volunteer Hardy Scheduled for August/September

 

The Hardy County Community Foundation is seeking participants for its 4th annual Volunteer Hardy initiative. Volunteer Hardy is the Community Foundation’s attempt to call attention to the invaluable contributions nonprofits, and the volunteers who serve them, make to their local communities and Hardy County.

Volunteer Hardy seeks to promote the work of local volunteer-driven organizations by encouraging and promoting fundraising events held during a specific time of year.  This year’s initiative will take place during the months of August and September.

The intent of the initiative is to remind people of the impact our local nonprofit and civic organizations have on our communities and to encourage not only financial support of their work, but to also consider getting involved in their efforts.

Organizations wishing to participate in this year’s initiative should download the 2017 Volunteer Hardy Letter for details about the event.
