Richard T. Gannon Fund CLICK HERE TO DONATE Do you want to support many different Eau Claire area nonprofits without having to set up your own fund? If so, a gift to the Richard T. Gannon Fund might be a great option for you. This Fund provides a strong source of grant funding for a wide variety of organizations. Unlike many other Funds, which focus on specific areas based on donor intent and field of interest, the Richard T. Gannon Fund is unrestricted. Its flexibility allows the Foundation's grant reviewers to fund grant applications that address the community's most pressing needs, even if the proposed programs don't specifically correspond to the objectives of other existing Funds. A gift to the Richard T. Gannon Fund is an excellent way to ensure that a diverse array of nonprofit organizations can continue their fantastic work on behalf of the Eau Claire community. Eau Claire is a great community and I have been fortunate to have lived here almost my entire life. When the Eau Claire Area (Community) Foundation was formed in 1997, I thought joining the Legacy Society would be an excellent method to continue that great quality of life which I have enjoyed. In addition, I am now pleased to be able to initiate a fund so I can actually see the benefits during my lifetime. Richard T. Gannon - August 2005 ECCF Newsletter
