To mark the occasion and to demonstrate what the Foundation does in our 25-county service area, ETF has awarded one of 25/$2,500 grants (one grant to a nonprofit in each of the 25 counties we serve) to Coker Creek Heritage  in Monroe County. The grant was hand-delivered on July 21, 2011, to staff and volunteers.

AFFILIATE:
John D. Grubb & Louise G. Sumner Fund for Monroe County
In 1998, John D. Grubb and his sister Louise G. Sumner, made a permanent charitable endowment to establish the Fund for Monroe County. Two programs were set up within the fund to meet the broad needs of the county. The first, a scholarship program to help secure advanced educational opportunities for students and the second, a general grantmaking program to leave a philanthropic legacy dedicated to improving the lives of residents of Monroe County.
