Fox Valley Family YMCA Buildings and Grounds Director Al Hogan (left) and Executive Director Andrew Bobbitt inspect a new Heating/AC unit that was recently installed by Artlip & Sons at the YMCA Central Branch in Plano. This unit replaces the first of five that were installed when the building was opened in 1992, and was purchased with grant funds received from the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley.

The Community Foundation is a non-profit philanthropic organization that administers individual charitable funds from which grants and scholarships are distributed to benefit the citizens of the Greater Aurora Area, the Tri Cities and Kendall County Illinois.

For more information on the YMCA please seewww.foxvalleyymca.org and for the Community Foundation please visitwww.cffrv.org.

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

President Emeritus

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.
