The first recipients of the Spruce Credit Union Legacy Fund have been announced.
Through the fund, the Prince George Community Foundation (PGCF) will be distributing $241,250 to three different projects.
The recipients of the first round of funding are:
- Elder Citizens Recreation Association, $11,250 for a kitchen renew
- Prince George Agricultural and Historical Association, $80,000 for a BCNE Outdoor Ag Arena Revival,
- Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation, $150,000 for a portable Cardiac Care Machine.
“I think that they’re all very special projects in our community,” said PGCF Director of Development Mindy Stroet.
“They’re significant projects that will have long-term lasting impacts for years to come.”
The remaining funds from the original $750,000 will be put into an endowment fund to be used for future grants.
“We’re looking for big ideas, things that are going to have a long-term impact on the community, somethings that’s going to benefit a large amount of residents,” Stroet added.
She said they’re hoping to be granting again this fall.
