Endowment fund requests due Dec. 30

The Hot Springs County Education Endowment is currently accepting community funding requests for 2016. If you or your organization has an educational project or need, please write a letter detailing the project, the cost and what your unmet need would be.

HSCEE is a non-profit perpetual fund, established in 1990 and managed by a representative community group of directors. Their mission is “…to provide citizens of Hot Springs County with educational benefits and experiences…”

Examples of projects they have helped to support include: Books for Babies, CRC Imagination Library, HSC Public Library, music completion and travel, Close Up, foreign language enrichments and travel, Lights On, Greater Learning Foundation and many individual learning opportunities.

They do not fully fund any project or request; but are willing to help with a portion of expenses. The only requirement is educational benefit to any citizen, young or old, in the community.

Submit your request for funds by Wednesday, Dec. 30 to: Hot Springs County Education Endowment Finance Committee, PO Box 1297, Thermopolis, WY 82443

Letters of interest can also be dropped off at the Hot Springs County High School in the office.
