Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois received a $3,100 grant from the Schweinfurth Foundation Trust
The Schweinfurth Foundation Trust was created by Mt.
Vernon philanthropist and businessman Dr. Carl Lincoln Schweinfurth. One of the purposes of the trust is to
develop and carry out plans and programs for the recreation and education of
young people in the greater Mt. Vernon area.
The Schweinfurth Foundation Trust grant supports the Girl
Scout Leadership Experience for nearly 270 girls in Jefferson County. The majority of funds will support financial
assistance to girls, assuring that no girl is turned away from Girl Scouting
due to her family's financial circumstances.
