Fund The Keystone

01/04/2024

We are so grateful for the donation of over $14,000 from the Elkader Future Fund to support safety enhancements on the riverwalk and bridge crossing. What an exceptional group of individuals who are working together to create more institutional investment for our community and our future!

The funding comes from the Elkader Future Fund's participation in the Small-town Dreams Initiative through the Community Foundation of Dubuque. This initiative also provided matching funds for the establishment of a permanent endowment in Elkader to support projects to help build a vibrant, thriving community for generations to come. Learn more about them at bit.ly/ElkaderFutureFund.
