The
Evanston Area Community Foundation was established in 1996.
The Evanston affiliate has been successful in encouraging
the establishment of endowment funds since its inception
and active in generating grants for their local area. In
2001, the ECF recommended funding of a Teen After School
Mentoring Program for adolescents. As a result, this program
has developed into a successful, collaborative function
of the school district, the city council and area businesses.
The
Evanston Affiliate acts as the advisory board for the 21st Century
Fund. This fund was originated by a gift from a family that
wanted to give something back to the community. The fund acts
as a permanent resource for the nonprofit organizations of Uinta
County. Affiliate members review area applications and grants
are made out of the income generated off the principal of the
fund. The 21st Century Fund gives individuals and families in
Uinta County an excellent opportunity to make charitable contributions
of any size with the knowledge that their funds will be used
to support their communities.
With
the long-term goal of making a difference in the quality of
life for the present and future generations of Evanston area
people, the ECF looks forward to expanding their search area
for the building of endowment funds that will allow them to
continue their grantmaking work. Their on-going projects include
their continued engagement in identifying several projects that
could benefit from grantmaking within the community.
