“Our Fountain Hills Community Foundation Gifting Committee of nine people had a very difficult task of recommending to our FHCF Board from over 40 grant requests,” Bill Myhr, chairman of the Gifting Committee said. “Our goal was to add value or strengthen the overall organization based on the project they submitted for funding. It was a difficult task because they are all so deserving.”
Gifting Ceremony is Oct. 3
Members of the recipient groups are asked to attend the gifting ceremony from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3, when representatives will receive their grant checks and have the opportunity to network with members of the Fountain Hills Community Foundation.
Later in the evening, foundation members are invited to attend the FHCF’s annual meeting, which convenes at 6 p.m.
