The Hardin County Community Endowment Foundation has been busy handing grant money out. The Foundation recently awarded over 88-thousand dollars to a variety of non-profits throughout Hardin County. But that doesn’t mean the work is done. Executive Director Tam Elerding says the Foundation was the recipient of the Schiller Family Trust Fund last year, in the amount of four and a quarter million dollars. Those dollars are earmarked for the Iowa Falls portion of the county.

Also in process according to Elerding, are grants to be awarded via the Hardin County Arts and Culture Fund.
