This Designated Fund was started in November of 2023 by an anonymous donor. The fund provides annual distributions, during the foundation’s Spring Community Grants program, to provide support for grant requests that primarily benefit Morton area children up to senior year in high school.
Grace… an undeserved gift that is given to us from God. It can not be earned but it is given freely. Abounds… to be present in large numbers or great quantities. This endowment fund embodies the gift of grace and as a steward of the money in which we have been blessed, this fund blesses others. The grants given each year from this fund can not be earned but they are freely given to bless the youth within our Morton community … Grace Abounds!
Consistent with the charitable purposes of MCF, distributions from this Fund will be used only to provide support for grant requests that primarily benefit Morton area children up to senior year in high school. Grants may be made to any Morton-based non-profit organization, public school, parochial school, charitable youth sports organization, Morton Park District, or Morton Public Library grant request primarily targeted toward children up to senior year in high school.
