FRIENDS OF THE FOUNDATION OPERATING FUND

The primary focus of the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation is to generate more dollars for scholarships. However, meeting operating costs is an annual challenge. Help us raise those funds by giving to the Friends of the Foundation Operating Fund, which specifically raises endowment funds earmarked to cover operating costs.

A drop in the bucket…

People often say they would like to help, but they can only afford to give a drop in the bucket compared to our needs. We believe that every drop counts. In appreciation, we acknowledge all contributions, great and small, by name of donor, memorial fund, or anonymously, according to your wishes. With your donation, we’ll have

… a bucketful of support.

Through your support, you perpetuate the mission of the Lakes Region Scholarship – the promotion and encouragement of scholarships and opportunities for higher education among residents of the Lakes Region – making your contribution a vital part of every scholarship awarded.

Can you spare a drop?
