20 Years of Smart Giving
Thanks to the vision of community philanthropists in Faulkner County, Arkansas Community Foundation’s Faulkner County Affiliate opened its doors in 2001.
In its first year, the initial Board raised $70,000, established one donor-created endowment fund, received 21 grant applications, and awarded $10,000 in grants.
As we celebrate our 20th year, we have grown to 75 funds, with assets of $11.2 million and have returned to the community over $5.3 M in grants during the past 19 years.
We are establishing a new tradition of recognizing philanthropy in Faulkner County with the Jerry B. Adams Excellence in Philanthropy Award. The award will be presented at our 20th Anniversary Celebration on October 21st at 6 pm in UCA’s McCastlain Ballroom. The inaugural honorees are Robert Nabholz, Charles Nabholz and Charles Weaver.
Email Shelley Mehl at Faulknercounty@arcf.org if you are interested in attending this event. Space is limited.
