In an effort to expand services and outreach, in the fall of 2011the board of directors of
Tucker Community Foundation issued a challenge to establish an endowed, unrestricted,
area fund benefiting Preston County.

A committee of Preston County residents, including donors to the fund, will be appointed
to make recommendations to the TCF grants committee.

In addition to providing additional resources for the community, the fund provides an
opportunity for donors to add additional support.

By establishing an endowed fund with the Foundation, the historic value of the donated
principal is protected and invested for growth and income.
