Dear Valued Friend of the Vandalia-Butler Foundation,
On behalf of the Vandalia-Butler Foundation Board of Trustees, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous support and compassion for others. Because of donors like you, the Foundation is able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of businesses, families, individuals, organizations and schools throughout Vandalia and Butler Township.
We are proud to share that during FY2024, the Vandalia-Butler Foundation’s family of funds surpassed $8.1 million. It is a privilege to be entrusted with stewarding these funds as we remain committed to driving positive change and progress in our community.
In 2024, through the generosity of our donors and primarily via the VISIONS Fund, the Foundation awarded over $26,300 in new educational grants to support innovative classroom initiatives in Vandalia-Butler City Schools. We also had the honor of awarding $50,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors, helping to empower the next generation of leaders.
It is our pleasure to present the 2023-2024 Vandalia-Butler Foundation Annual Report. Once again, thank you for your unwavering support of the Foundation and your dedication to strengthening the Vandalia-Butler community.
Sincerely,
Candice Farst and Julie Trick
Co-Chairs
