Larry K. Sargeant Endowment Fund
PURPOSE
“Strengthening the Fabric of Our Community” is the essence of The Larry K. Sargeant Endowment Fund. Its purpose is to build a permanent source of income to meet the needs of the neediest Warren County residents served by Warren County Community Services, Inc. (WCCS). WCCS is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), charitable, social-service agency serving our vulnerable children, struggling families, and fragile elderly. Larry Sargeant served as Executive Director for 38 years and retired in 2011.
GOAL
Meeting the initial goal to grow the Fund to $100,000.00 will support WCCS with up to $5,000.00 of endowment income each year – without touching the principal.
Only through your generous support will this goal be met. More importantly, it will ensure that our community becomes even stronger throughout the years.
FUND MANAGEMENT
The Larry K. Sargeant Endowment Fund is managed by the Warren County Foundation, with direction from WCCS. The Warren County Foundation is a non-profit, community foundation. It is governed by a board of community leaders and is audited annually by an outside auditor. Contributions to the fund are tax-deductible.
