The Diversity Fund for Schuylkill County
Established 2008
This Field of Interest Fund was established with two substantial contributions from Wal-Mart Distribution Center #7030 in the amount of $5,000 and another donation from Susquehanna Bank for $2,500.
The annual earnings from this fund will be distributed to qualified organizations that meet the criteria set forth in the fund agreement. The Schuylkill Area Community Foundation’s Grant Committee will select the recipients.
This Field of Interest Fund continues to grow through the generous contributions of our business community. The M & T Charitable Foundation presented a check for the amount of $5,000 and OMNOVA Solutions Foundation awarded $1,000 to support the diversity education programs throughout Schuylkill County.
Contributions will reach the student population through the Schuylkill County Youth Conference - A World of Understanding and community initiatives through the Diversity Fund for Schuylkill County. The programs and activities in our schools and communities will foster and enhance cultural appreciation, understanding, and unity.
Distributions from this fund are used for diversity educational programs and projects for the general population of Schuylkill County.
