Edgecumbe is even needed anymore, at all.”

Brady said her first reaction was denial.

“Even as a government teacher who should have been more aware of the possibility that state revenue, that’s so dependent on oil, would decrease, that this school might not exist forever, never occurred to me,” Brady says. Brady says it was a springboard point for lessons in her class, to “kind of show students how the government works and how the budget process works.”

“Underclassmen who definitely knew they wanted to continue their education at Mt. Edgecumbe is doing the job it’s kept open in order to do.”

According to the administration, what the school is trying to do is provide an educational alternative for students around the state, some in rural places with fewer opportunities.

Ayla Reynolds is a new student from Savoonga, an island in the Bering Sea.

“It’s a big world out there. Edgecumbe] because it’s a new adventure.”

Superintendent Bill Hutton says he’s relieved the funding will continue, but with one major hitch: it may not be enough this year to cover the rising cost of operating the boarding school. “We have to cut in order to be prepared for those.”

Another major concern for Hutton is how much money the school receives from the legislature for each student. The school’s annual budget is $10 million, with 45% coming from the legislature, 45% from the EED and 10% from grants.

To prepare, Hutton is planning to purchases a minimum amount of school supplies, reduce travel for student activities, reduce dual-credit programs with the University of Alaska Southeast and keep two and a half open teaching positions empty.

Jonathan was the son of Mike Eppley, who owns one of the farms that the McConnell family rents.

When it came time to negotiate a higher land rent rate, Mike Eppley and Jim McConnell worked out a deal, where Jim would donate the increased dollar amount, in the form of grain donated to an account held by the community foundation.

The community foundation then communicated directly with the grain elevator, to sell the grain and transfer the proceeds into the memorial account.

The transaction helped create a win-win situation, and one that the community foundation hopes other farmers will consider.

Tax benefits

McConnell benefited because he was able to avoid paying the full cost of the rent increase, and he doesn’t have to show the donated portion of his crop as income in the way that he would if he had sold all of his crop, and later donated the cash.

And the Eppley family benefited in the most obvious way because they secured funds for their son’s memorial fund, which supports charitable, scientific, literary and educational programs in Lorain County.

“It seemed to be pretty straightforward, and it was easy to recognize that there was a tax advantage to us in just donating the grain, as opposed to receiving payment for the grain and then turning around and writing a check to the community foundation,” said McConnell.

He can still record the costs of growing the crop, but he doesn’t have to show the costs of selling the part that he donated.

“To us, it’s a no-brainer,” he said. “If you have an inclination to make a charitable donation, I think this is a smart way to do it.”

More opportunity

Lisa Rupple, communications coordinator for the community foundation, said she’s hopeful other farms will see this as a way of making charitable donations.

“It might make something feasible that wasn’t feasible for them before,” she said.

The foundation has more than 560 programs to choose from, and gives out more than $4 million in grants every year.

They also operate a program in Huron County, called Forever Farmland, in which the community foundation leases donated farmland, and uses the proceeds for charitable funds.

About a decade ago, the foundation was given a donation of 300 acres, from local donors Myron and Elinor Kolbe.

CLAYTON Nonprofit organizations now have until May 22 to apply for grants from the Dale Kenyon Community Fund.

The Northern New York Community Foundation recently extended the deadline to seek grants, which will be awarded to agencies that provide services to residents in the town of Clayton.

Recently, the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association (MBARA) received a $25,000 grant from the St.

Just 14 months ago, the Blue Ridge Scholarships program was launched with a $4 million challenge grant and an invitation to University of Virginia supporters to match the total.

A rapid and robust response grew the seed grant to $8 million, propelling a need-based scholarship that assisted dozens of high-achieving students in the current academic year.

Now, UVA admissions officials are preparing to select a new class of Blue Ridge Scholars, while philanthropic support for the program and for student aid continue to build momentum.

“We’re thrilled that we will be enrolling a second cohort of Blue Ridge students this fall,” said Gregory W. “The entire University community stands to gain when high-achieving students have every opportunity to earn an education here.”

The scholarships benefit incoming undergraduate students with outstanding academic accomplishments and financial need.

Of the original $4 million challenge grant, $1 million was earmarked for a four-year commitment to the Class of 2018 Blue Ridge Scholars, contingent upon the successful match.

The additional $3 million challenge is intended to help grow a financial aid endowment, a University priority. For the same period, UVA dedicated a record $58 million in grant aid for University students with financial need up from about $11 million a decade ago.

During that time, the number of students with demonstrated financial need has increased from 24 percent of the undergraduate population to 33 percent, while state and federal funding have declined.

“UVA is dedicated to bringing the best students to Grounds to contribute to and enrich the University community,” University President Teresa A.
