During 2010, the Foundation announced the establishment of three new Funds:

• Alumni Scholarship Fund - this scholarship endowment fund was established with a lead donation made by several past recipients of the Lake Mills High School Distinguished Alumni Award. Now that this fund has been established all alumni either individually and/or by class year have a place where they can now make a contribution to help make a difference for graduating students who desire to further their education. This scholarship will be awarded for the first time in May of 2011.
• The Scott Alan Ferguson Scholarship Fund - This scholarship endowment fund was established with a gift of $1,000,000 to the Foundation by Scott Alan Ferguson, a former Lake Mills resident and Lake Mills High School graduate (Class of 1974). Two Scott Alan Ferguson $20,000 ($5000/yr) scholarships will be awarded annually, beginning in May 2011, to graduating seniors at Lake Mills High School who have chosen to pursue further studies in Engineering, Science or Business.
• Fiberdome Charitable Fund - Fiberdome Incorporated set up a donor-advised fund with a $30,000 gift to the Foundation.

The Foundation is happy to work with individuals, organizations and projects in creating special funds to support a wide variety of causes. Please contact any of the Foundation Board members to learn more about such opportunities.

In 2010, the Foundation established the “Friends of the Foundation” Program to encourage and recognize sustained giving to the Foundation. Those who pledge a gift to the Foundation for (3) or more of (5) consecutive years in one of the categories below will have their name appear on the Foundation website and in the Annual Report as a special “Friend of the Foundation.”
