ALM Community Foundation awards semi-annual grants

Talk about it

The Artesian, Letcher, Mount Vernon Community Foundation Board of Directors met recently to award its semi-annual grants.

The following distributions were approved:

• Letcher Community Development Foundation for $1,000 for new chairs and tables at the Letcher Community Center.

• Trinity Lutheran Church of Storla for $500 toward new tables.

• Mount Vernon Baseball Association for $885 toward ballpark speakers and a field drag.

• Sanborn County 4-H Leaders Association for $1,000 toward replacing the livestock unloading area at the 4-H Grounds in Forestburg.

The ALM Community Foundation was formed to attract and distribute gifts of capital for community betterment. It was initially funded by CorTrust Bank with a match from the South Dakota Community Foundation for the benefit of Artesian, Letcher and Mount Vernon Communities. The first grants were awarded in August 2000.

Since that time, more than $92,000 has been awarded.
