Elkhorn Community Foundation grants more than $4000 to local causes for area projects

Sixteen years ago, the Elkhorn Community Foundation was only a dream.

Last week the foundation gave away $4063 to five area groups to support worthy causes aimed at bettering the community.

According to a recent newsletter by the group, “The Elkhorn Community Foundation began in 2012 with a dream. Inspired people, and the hope that by combining our financial resources and pocket change a foundation could be formed that would aid in the development of our area by forming a permanent endowment.”
