By promoting early awareness of mental health concerns and connecting families to help before crisis occurs, this initiative contributes to suicide prevention while strengthening resilience in Missouri’s rural agricultural communities. As Certified FarmResponse providers, Shelby County Cares is committed to delivering evidence-based, culturally relevant outreach. “We are honored to support Shelby County Cares and their vital mission of suicide prevention,” said Nathan Hillard, Shelby County Fund Council chair. “This grant will help strengthen our community’s resilience.

Alton Vannice was a 10th generation farmer who learned the skills of leadership through his experiences in the Palmyra FFA Chapter. Alton's beliefs in his community and in agriculture were expressed as he served on numerous committees and boards throughout his farming career. He gladly served in these capacities and others because he believed in the values expressed in the FFA creed: leadership, respect, the ability to work efficiently and think clearly, and in the promise of better days through better ways. Becky Swisher Crowe Memorial Scholarship Fund - Quincy (IL) Senior High School The Becky Swisher Crowe Memorial Scholarship Fund provides a scholarship at an accredited two-year or four-year institution for a Quincy High School senior intending to pursue a degree in education.

She returned to college at age 43, where she completed her bachelor’s degree and two master’s degrees. The Virginia Kaye Leinweber Leeds Scholarship Fund provides a scholarship to Pleasant Hill High School graduates interested in pursuing the field of nursing. “Mom loved young people and wanted to see everyone have the opportunity to go to college,” says her daughter, Leah Erke. “I chose the field of nursing as a way to honor all of the nurses who cared for her.” For a comprehensive list of scholarships and detailed application information, please visit the Community Foundation's official website at www.mycommunityfoundation.org/scholarships.

The Community Foundation is seeking applications from high school students for a new youth philanthropy program, TAG: Teens Active in Grantmaking. Designed to introduce philanthropy to Quincy teens, TAG members will step into the role of grantmakers, helping to shape the future of their community by awarding charitable funds to causes that matter. Through TAG, students will gain real-world experience learning about local nonprofits, evaluating grant proposals, exploring community challenges, and making decisions that lead to direct local impact. The program also focuses on leadership development, encouraging collaboration, critical thinking, and civic engagement. “Teens know the issues they and their peers encounter, and TAG gives them the chance to be part of meaningful change,” said Bailee Duesterhaus, Program Manager. “This launch is just the beginning of what youth can accomplish when they’re empowered and heard.” Applications for the 2025 TAG cohort opened July 1 and will be accepted through Sept. 1. TAG members will meet monthly throughout the year to engage in discussions about local issues, learn from nonprofit leaders, and make informed grant decisions. Applicants should review the program calendar before applying to ensure availability to attend meetings.
