Fairmont, WV – The Francis and Coletta Schmidt Family Fund, a donor-advised fund managed by Your Community Foundation of North Central West Virginia, Inc. (YCF), recently presented a $1,000 grant to the Disability Action Center, Inc. (DAC).
Established as an endowment fund in 2008, the annual earnings from the Schmidt Family Fund support nonprofit agencies that provide services to individuals and families in Marion County. The Fund directs its giving to organizations serving those in need of basic essentials, such as education, food, and other daily living necessities.
“My siblings and I are pleased to be able to present this donation to the Disability Action Center from our parents’ family fund,” said Gerry Schmidt, donor advisor. “In light of their recent flooding and subsequent upcoming relocation, we felt that the financial support we might be able to give to the DAC is needed now more than ever. We feel certain that our parents would be more than pleased to have been able to make this contribution to them in honor of the work they do each and every day.”
The DAC is dedicated to providing individuals with disabilities, primarily developmental disabilities, and their families with the support, knowledge, and resources they need to reach their greatest level of independence. To learn more, visit https://disabilityactioncenter.com/.
