It's Friday and officially basketball season. 🏀
This week's Fund Fact Friday features the Coach Donna Sullivan Title IX Legacy Scholarship Fund.

The scholarship - named after the legendary coach - is awarded to a graduating female senior from Seymour High School or Trinity Lutheran High School where Sullivan coached. Preference is given to girls who show an interest in pursuing an
athletic education major.

The scholarship was established by Sullivan's former players in 2023 following the 50th anniversary of Title IX legislation being adopted. The law opened the door for female students to participate in high school sports.

For one ‘month,’ community members stepped into the lives of families living in poverty. They juggled bills, work and difficult choices. What they experienced shed light on the challenges of living in poverty.

Gifts to the Gift of Grain program continue to come into the office of the Community Foundation of Jackson County.
The friendly competition pits tractor afficionados into two camps – the Green Team and the Red Team.

Four gifts have been made through the Gift of Grain program, with the Red Team taking over the lead from the Green Team leading with 52 percent of votes cast so far. The Green Team has 48 percent of the votes.

Votes are made in the form of gifts to the Foundation and can come in the form of grains, such as corn and soybeans, or cash gifts. Every $25 of a gift to the Foundation counts as one vote. Every $100 gift counts as five votes.

So far, gifts into the 2026 Gift of Grain program are benefitting three funds at the Foundation: The Orville & Mary Schnitker Memorial Endowment, the Mary Evelyn Mellencamp Memorial Fund, the Jackson County Community Endowment and the Montie Prince Scholarship for Young Learners.

Giving through the Gift of Grain is simple for farmers. Farmers can tell their grain elevator that they want to donate a particular load or amount of corn or soybeans to the Foundation. The elevator in turn sells the grain on behalf of the Foundation and sends a check. The farmer can direct the gift into the fund of their choice.

The Foundation also is excited to announce that the annual Farmers Breakfast is scheduled for February 11, 2027, at Pewter Hall. Follow our page to learn how you and others can reserve your spot to this free program.
