Community Foundation for Delta County Board Chair Charles Becker, presents a check for $7,170.08 to Heather Grimes event coordinator of the Williams Bonifas Fine Arts Center. The funds are an annual gift from the Robert & Anne Schmit Endowment Fund held in the community foundation. Becker stated, “The Community Foundation Board of Trustees is pleased and excited to be able to provide these funds from the Robert & Anne Schmit Endowment Fund annual distribution to the William Bonifas Fine Arts Center. The Art Center plays such an important role in the cultural affairs of the community and bring many people from outside the community to view their art displays; take part in their workshops or attend a play. Not only do they offer a wide variety of unique and specialty pieces of permeant art to view in their gallery, they also have many beautiful one of a kind items for sale.” “The annual gift we receive from the Robert & Anne Schmit Endowed Fund is essential to the success of the William Bonifas Fine Arts Center. We are privileged to have the Community Foundation for Delta County following the philanthropic wishes of their donors and for the hundreds of thousands of dollars they grant to this community each year.”
