The St. Francis Community Foundation announces that disbursements for 2011 from the New Generation Fund were made to the City of St. Francis LED sign project and the Cheyenne County Historical Society repairs to Ye Old Country Church.

The purpose of the community foundation is to encourage individuals to make tax deductible charitable donations to be utilized along with possible grants, government programs, government loans and other funds. These combined funds can then be utilized to improve the quality of life in St. Francis and Cheyenne County.

The Community Foundation has been working hard since the fire at the Good Samaritan Village in October 2010 to raise funds to be used for senior living needs. An anonymous donor has pledged to match up to $50,000 raised during 2011 for this fund. Please help us reach our goal by donating to this fund.
