Foundation News
The Killingworth Foundation began its fifth Annual Appeal this October. Our 2011-2012 Appeal proved to be the most successful to date and for that milestone we thank our neighbors, their relatives and friends. As we begin our sixth year, the Foundation is becoming one of the cornerstones of our community with growing potential for future grant giving.
Over the past year the Foundation continued the high school senior Achievement Award and the Ullrich Scholarship programs. Contributing grants, including support from the Auer Family Fund, were awarded for two Eagle Scout projects. Both projects, the construction of a vehicle/ pedestrian bridge at Parmelee Farm and the building of a split rail fence at the Killingworth Recreational Park, enhance the safety and utility of highly frequented town sites. The Shoreline Soup Kitchens and Pantries was also a recipient of a Foundation grant. This nonprofit regularly provides assistance to over eighty members of the Killingworth community.
