(KAIR)--Nearly twenty-eight organizations in the Atchison area have benefited from grants given out by the Courtney S. Turner Charitable Trust.
The Atchison Advisory Committee, which processes requests from the community to present to the trust, announced the Trustee's decision Wednesday to give out awards totaling $200,000.
The Atchison Child Care Association and the Boy Scouts of America Pony Express Council were each awarded the highest grant of $15,000. The next highest grant of $ 13,500 was awarded to Maur Hill-Mount Academy, and the Atchison Family YMCA was awarded $12,500.
The Turner Trust has given away more than $12 million to Atchison since 1987, for a wide range of charitable, cultural, educational, historic, and youth related projects.
The funds will be available to each organization as soon as possible.
