Woman’s Club of Aurora Advisory Endowment Fund

Established 1990

womans_club.jpgThe Woman’s Club of Aurora created an advisory endowment fund to ensure the availability of a permanent resource to support its philanthropic activities.

The club makes annual suggestions for distributions from the fund for area charitable purposes.

The Woman’s Club is noted for its service to the community. Soon after its formation in 1891, members reached out to assist the special needs of children.

Prior to the days when kindergarten was offered in the public schools, club members provided financial support to the local Kindergarten Association.

After the association dissolved, many club members took over the operation of the kindergarten.

Through the years, the club has provided assistance to numerous charitable programs and projects which have strengthened the life of the Aurora community.

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.

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!

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.

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.

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

…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.
