HCF has grown to just over $1 million in assets over the last decade. It is made up of more than 20 individual donor funds and a general fund. Since making its first donation in 2000 to the Hudson High School All-Night Graduation Party, now an annual donation, the HFC has awarded grants totaling more than $115,000 throughout the community while providing donors a variety of options in which to give back to the community.
“We all could see the good the various foundations like Andersen’s and the Phipps can accomplish, but there is a limit to what they can do. We saw the Hudson Community Fund as a way to give local people a chance to give back to Hudson by helping those who help the community,” said retired First National Bank President Ken Heiser, who served as HCF’s first president.
