                       3)     other deserving civic or charitable projects within the community, and

SPECIAL CONTRIBUTOR REQUESTS: The Foundation also accepts the responsibility of administering contributions for which the benefactor has a specific request as to the disposition of the funds. However, the benefactor’s wishes must coincide with the Mission of the Foundation. An example of such a Special Contributor Request is the Wulbern Scholarship Fund described below.
