WILLOW LAKE — The Willow Lake Area Community Foundation (WLACF) recently exceeded its initial fundraising goal by raising more than $250,000 to establish its endowment fund and prepare it to offer grants beginning in 2025.
As a result of surpassing its challenge goal of $200,000, WLACF received twin challenge grants of $50,000 each from the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) and the Field of Dreams Fund, a SDCF sub-fund. WLACF will operate as a Community Savings Account partner fund within SDCF.
The WLACF advisory council, including Matt Vandersnick, Carolyn Nichols, Kim Bratland, Bob Syring and Jack Schmidt launched its effort in 2022 and met its goal with a year to spare in the three-year challenge grant period.
