About. |
Established in 2016In November 2016, the GROW Decatur County Foundation Fund was established through utilizing a matching campaign initiative offered through the Dane G. Hansen Foundation. Incoming donations into this endowment fund were matched $1 for $1 up to $50,000. The Decatur County communities, exceeded their portion of the incoming contributions by more than double; raising approximately $115,000 prior to adding in the $50,000 match. In subsequent years, local support came through and the fund has since passed the $490,000 mark!

Serving on the GROW board goes back to my roots. My roots were put down in Decatur County the day I was born and I never pulled them up.
