We know you love the Endless Mountains as much as we do! We also know that change is a constant in everyone’s lives. If changes in your life take you away from our region, we will miss you! But your fund is still as flexible as it ever was. You can continue to make grant recommendations to any nonprofit of your choice, whether in the Endless Mountains area or anywhere else in the United States.
