Sharing a gift of Education
The Hastings Community Foundation is honored when a family asks us to help remember a loved one by establishing a special fund in their memory. Donors make the initial gift and set scholarship criteria. The Hastings Community Foundation works with schools to determine recipient(s) and we manage the distribution and fund management. Scholarships can serve as a tremendous tool to celebrate a legacy or continue a tradition of achievement.
