WILLIAMSBURG — The Williamsburg Community Foundation recently awarded annual grants to three organizations from the Jenny E. Wible Fund.
Since 2017, Williamsburg Community Foundation (WCF) has provided annual grants to three organizations through the fund, and each year, the grants have grown, it said. This year’s grants totaled more than $130,000.
One of the beneficiaries is Walsingham Academy, which has received funding to provide need-based tuition assistance to students, it said.
“The Wible grant enables us to provide need-based tuition assistance to families who otherwise would not be able to afford the cost of tuition. Socioeconomic diversity benefits the entire school and community, as it enriches the educational experience and develops more compassionate citizens,” said Sister Mary Jeanne Oesterle, President of Walsingham.
The Salvation Army and St. Bede Catholic Church also received annual grants.
“The Williamsburg Community Foundation is honored to continue awarding annual grants from the Jenny E. Wible Fund, ensuring her legacy lives on through meaningful contributions to our community,” the foundation said in a press release. “This significant bequest serves as a lasting testament to her dedication and kind heart, underscoring the powerful impact of planned giving on our community.”
WCF encourages community members to consider leaving a legacy that supports causes they are passionate about. For more information on planned giving and how you can make a difference, please contact the Williamsburg Community Foundation.
