Rooks County Healthcare Foundation has partnered with Midwest Energy to begin an endowed fund through the Heartland Community Foundation.
Through the Midwest Energy Community Fund Impact Grant Program, a grant of $5,000 was made to RCHF in order to establish an endowment, which will be used to help fund grant requests made to RCHF.
RCHF matched the Midwest Energy grant with another $10,000 to establish the fund. Interest from the endowment will be used to support the many non-profit healthcare entities in Rooks County that seek support for their specific projects.
The Heartland Community Foundation is facilitating the endowment by placing the funds raised in their Designated Fund program.

RCHF supports such groups as Rooks County Cancer Council, Rooks County EMS, recreation centers and Rooks County Health Center as well providing healthcare related equipment to schools, law enforcement and nursing homes.
