$20,000 Challenge Matching Grant a Success!
Highlights from 2014: The Worthington Area Foundation was presented with a unique opportunity to grow the general endowment fund. Long-time community members, Dr. Wayne and Karen Freese, issued a dollar-for-dollar challenge grant. Gifts given to the Worthington Area Foundation Endowment Fund were matched up to $20,000! This was an incredible opportunity for the Worthington Area Foundation and our community. Thank you to all those who donated!
Roy and Dorothy Nasers Family Endowment Fund
Highlight from 2013: Dorothy Nasers along with Jim and Ruth Putnam, established three permanently endowed funds in the WAF family of funds: Roy & Dorothy Nasers Endowment Fund for Worthington YMCA, Roy & Dorothy Nasers Endowment Fund for Manna Food Pantry, Inc., and Roy and Dorothy Nasers Endowment Fund. In the photo, Mike Woll and Andy Johnson, representing Worthington Area YMCA, pose with Dorothy Nasers, Jim and Ruth Putnam and their son Nick Putnam at the 2013 WAF grant presentation event. We greatly appreciate the lasting investment made by the Nasers and Putnam families!
