           Your gifts are a great way to give something positive and useful to

            future generations in your community.   Your gifts will help students

            forever.    Most donations go to the Maquoketa Valley Scholarship

            Endowment Fund, our largest fund.  A donation totaling $5,000 or more can

            be a Named Endowment.  A donor or group of donors can start with $500

            and continue to contribute until a Named Endowment is funded.  Earnings

            from Endowment Funds pay for scholarships each year.
