I learned of the Shenandoah Community Foundation after asking a relative to find how I may donate toward a scholarship for a graduate of Central High School.
Earlier I was of the opinion that anything having to do with a Foundation or Endowment was for only the wealthy, but since learning more, I find I was wrong. Being blessed yet of modest means, the Foundation will help fulfill my wishes and goals long after I cease to exist.
Instead of obstacles and complications, […] the staff present opportunities through simplicity and kindness.
