The Humboldt Chapter of the Community Foundation of West Tennessee donated $4,000 to local nonprofits during a check presentation in Gibson County on Tuesday, October 8, 2024.
The following organizations received donations from the Humboldt Chapter:
· Boys and Girls Club of Humboldt - $1,500
· Humboldt Rescue Squad - $1,500
· Helping Hands of Humboldt - $1,000
“It is rewarding to see the impact these organizations make in Humboldt, and our chapter is proud to support them in serving our residents,” said Brad Webster, Humboldt Chapter Advisory Board Member. “We are grateful to work alongside inspiring nonprofits to strengthen Humboldt together.”
Chapters contribute to a variety of charitable purposes and organizations within their communities across West Tennessee. A local advisory board is appointed and has the responsibility for fundraising and grant-making in their geographic area while the Community Foundation oversees their work and provides administrative support.
“Our chapters play a vital role in connecting us to our rural communities, and we are excited to see the Humboldt Chapter actively engaging with local needs,” said Beth Koffman, Chief Operating Officer for the Community Foundation. “We look forward to seeing how our affiliates continue to expand our impact.”
The Community Foundation has three chapters in Gibson County, including Humboldt, Milan, and Trenton, and a chapter in Henderson County. To learn more about its affiliates or how to get involved, visit www.cfwtn.org.
A vital piece of our mission at the Community Foundation of West Tennessee is the annual funds we provide to assist individuals in need. In 2023, a grant from our organization helped pay the remaining balance for Caleb Beebe's service dog, Brody.
