Our Purpose

The Foundation was organized January 15, 1957. Its purpose was, and still is, to afford a vehicle for those of modest as well as greater means to make gifts, devises, and bequests to provide financial assistance toward meeting various area needs such as charitable, educational, cultural, scientific, and recreational endeavors.

 

Since 2001, the GCF has provided for distributions of nearly $600,000.00, and over $200,000.00 from our various scholarship funds. We extend a huge “Thank You” to all donors for helping to keep a good thing going.
