DARKE COUNTY – Applications are now open for funds available from the Schaurer Foundation. For agencies and organizations in need that serve Darke County, these funds can create opportunities to give back to the local community.
One such example is the 2023 Schaurer award recipient, Radiant Lighthouse Church, which used the funds to pour a concrete pad outside of their highly used food pantry. This pad has been used to facilitate the delivery of supplies to the pantry for those in need.
Organizations requesting funds must be organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals. The organization must be qualified for tax exemption under the Internal Revenue Code.
Recipients of distribution from the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund shall be determined exclusively at the discretion of the Trustees.
Forms for the request of distribution may be obtained by contacting the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. The requests must be received BY FRIDAY, September 26, 2025, at 5:00 P.M.
