ST. MARYS — The Harrison and Muriel Dauer Stackpole Family Fund, a donor-advised fund at the Elk County Community Foundation, recently made a grant award to the St. Marys Sportsmen’s Club. The award helped fund a new riding lawn mower.
The Club was in need of a new riding mower to help maintain the 8-10 acres of lawn it cuts. Approximately 20-25 volunteer hours per week are spent mowing grass and maintaining the equipment and grounds.
Information about grant criteria can be found on the Community Foundations website: www.elkcountyfoundation.org. The next round of grant applications will conclude on July 15. With the current needs of COVID-related expenses for nonprofit agencies, the Stackpole Family will prioritize this round of awards to focus on the health care and education fields particularly serving the disabled, youth and the elderly population. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the Foundation for more information either by calling 814-834-2125 or visiting its website.
