William W. Boden Endowment Fund

Established 2001

William Boden

This fund, created upon receipt of a bequest from the estate of William W. Boden, provides support to the Fox Valley Animal Welfare League of Aurora.

William Boden (1930-2001) was born in Wheaton, Illinois.  In his early years, he lived in Florida and later moved to Aurora where he resided for forty-five years.

Mr. Boden worked in the home building industry until 1974.  He then opened The Gun Lodge in Aurora, which he owned and operated until his retirement in the mid-1980’s.

Mr. Boden was devoted to the welfare of animals and has provided for their care through his thoughtful bequest to the Foundation.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

Richard and Susan Schindel Scholarship Funds

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!
