The Community Foundation of Swan Valley recently received a donation of $20,000.
In a press release, the CFSV says the donation is from Matt Black. Matt currently offers a bursary with the Swan Valley Regional Secondary School and wishes to have the CFSV take over management of the fund. The memorial bursary is in honour of his late wife Monica and adds more opportunities for students to advance their education at the post-secondary level.
The endowment will create a new Education Fund with the CFSV.
Each endowment with the Community Foundation provides a never-ending source of income to the community. The original gift remains untouched and the interest earned is used to support local charities, scholarships and bursaries.
