A new endowment has been established with the Dubois County Community Foundation to benefit the community of Schnellville.
The St. Anthony Community Endowment was created from the proceeds of this year’s
Sesquicentennial celebration celebrated in September.
Sesquicentennial Committee member Matt Eckert says the entire Schnellville community worked very hard to raise the money for the town. Eckert noted that it was so rewarding to see all ages come together with one, unified goal.
A $100,000 contribution was made by the community to seed the endowment. The purpose of the fund is to support a broad range of charitable needs within and for the benefit of Schnellville.
Schnellville Community Endowment joins the Jack and Eileen Nelson Memorial Endowment and C.J. Gehlhausen Endowment as funds held by the Community Foundation that support Schnellville projects and organizations.
