The Forever Fund officially launched in March 2024 as a Waco Foundation initiative to foster charitable giving among the next generation of Wacoans.
The Forever Fund is a member supported giving circle with the goal of improving quality of life in McLennan County. Members pay annual dues of $250 that are combined with proceeds from a unique and exciting concert event and awarded in full as a grant to a local Waco nonprofit. The Forever Fund is designed to give everyone an opportunity to contribute in a small way to make a large impact every year.
The Forever Fund had a fantastic first year. More than 200 people joined as members and momentum continues to build. This year’s concert event featuring local songwriters Trannie Anderson and Jim Beavers was incredibly well received with everyone looking forward to next year. Young philanthropists are ready to make their mark to support the important work of local nonprofits.
We were thrilled to present Transformation Waco with the very first Forever Fund grant of $37,401.80 at Waco Foundation’s holiday reception. This grant will allow Transformation Waco to continue their incredible work with students and families in Waco ISD.
Be on the lookout for 2025 membership information as we continue working towards our goal of making meaningful impact in the community we love and call home!
