Due to the holidays, our offices will be closed on the following days: December 24 – 25 and January 1.
This fund was created to honor the lives of Maude Dewey and her daughter, Vivian Dewey Watson.
Maude Dewey taught music for many years in area country schools and gave private lessons in piano and voice. She died in 1968.
Vivian Watson, who died in 1979, also gave private lessons in voice, piano and organ.
Scholarships from the fund are awarded to students entering the field of music.
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!

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.

…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.
