GOOD WORKS The JVCF endowment has grown from $5000 in 2001 to $114,000 at the end of 2007, so the amount of grants dispersed has steadily been improving. In 2007 the JVCF granted out $7500. The JVCF was proud to give $4400 (in three different grants) to Pool Pals and the Whitehall Community Pool that opened in summer 2007 and helped give our community a wonderful asset. The JVCF has also given grants to Selina Memorial Animal Rescue several times to fund much needed spay/neuter clinics in the Whitehall area.
