Why Support the Greenlee Gives Back Gala?
The purpose of this Gala is to raise money for the Greenlee County Community Fund. This is an endowed (forever) fund from which investment earnings go back into the community via annual grants to local nonprofits. Grants are competitive and selected each year by a local committee. The fund opened in 2013 with gifts from Duncan Valley Electric Coop, Greenlee County and contractors working at FMI. The current value of this fund is $36,230 and the distribution rate in 2017 was 4.25% equaling $1,540.00 in awarded grants. There are much greater community needs. For more grants to be given, we need to increase the assets of the Fund. Additional purposes for this event are to share the stories of local residents and how they are impacted by these grants and to also increase awareness of our local affiliate of the Arizona Community Foundation.
