Isla Mae “Tish” Evers Memorial Endowment Fund

Established 2018

Isla Mae “Tish” Evers (1927-2018) began her teaching career at Mooseheart after graduating from the University of Iowa in 1951. She then joined the West Aurora School District 129 as a gym teacher and later was an Assistant Principal. Her teaching career spanned some 33 years. Evers was a longtime, devoted member of Holy Angels Church. She was also a life member of the National Education Foundation and the Retired Teacher’s Association. This fund provides support for the Discretionary Grantmaking program and operations of the Community Foundation.

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!

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

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.

Sharon Stredde

President Emeritus

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.

…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.
