3/31/2008 :: NOMINATIONS INVITED FOR PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION GRANT
The Foundation is accepting nominations for its sixth annual Harold T. Sumner Professional Education Grants to independent non-profit organizations in Gaston County. The competitive grants will be awarded to independent charitable, cultural, or educational organizations that seek financing for a professional staff member to participate in special training opportunities.
Executive Director, Spurgeon Mackie, Jr., said the Foundation has allocated a total of $5,000 per year for the Sumner Awards and may offer one grant or may divide the total based on merits of applications received. The fifth year’s recipients were staff members of: As One Ministries, Inc., Girl Scouts of the Pioneer Council, Off the Streets Program, Inc. and With Friends, Inc.
Mr. Sumner passed away in 2002 after compiling a lengthy and varied record of service to the community including a key role as co-founder and volunteer Manager of the Foundation. He constantly advocated a role for the Foundation as the community leader in encouraging philanthropy.
The Foundation’s Board of Directors sees this plan as an appropriate tribute to, “a man who demonstrated in word and action his belief that good citizens working together through independent charitable organizations are critical to improving quality of life in Gaston County.”
Deadline for submission of nominations is May 10th. Please contact the Foundation office for a Nomination Form and Guidelines at: info@cfgaston.org or 704-864-0927.
