The Endowment for Literacy and the Fine Arts :
Built upon an original matching donation by the Stocker Foundation, the Endowment for Literacy and the Fine Arts provides a permanent source of funding for such programs.

The Foundation will direct earnings from this endowment towards the preservation and enhancement of programs in music, dance, drama, literacy, and visual arts. Donations earmarked for this endowment fund are invested with the original principal left untouched and investment earnings available for enrichment.
