About
The Elkhorn Fund was established in 2007 as a means for current and former residents to give back to the community through charitable contributions. Donations to the Elkhorn Fund are placed into a permanent endowment fund. A percentage of the Fund's earnings are given back to the community annually in the form of grants to Elkhorn-area non-profit organizations. Grants are awarded to support historical and environmental preservation, education, health care, youth programs and the elderly. Since its founding, the Fund has given back nearly $19,000 to the community. The Fund is advised by a board of community volunteers who initiate fundraising activities and determine grant awards.
