Trego County Enhancement Fund

Specific Need

Help Trego County Grow!
This Give Fest, your gift to the Trego County Enhancement Fund helps build a permanent resource that will support economic development and revitalization projects across the county. Every $10,000 added to the fund generates roughly $500 in grants each year — funding initiatives that strengthen local businesses, improve community spaces, and create new opportunities for residents. Our goal is to raise $10,000–$15,000 to make the first winter grant cycle impactful and set the stage for lasting growth in Trego County. Give today and be part of shaping a vibrant future for our community!

Mission

The Trego County Enhancement Fund exists to strengthen and revitalize Trego County by supporting projects that enhance economic development, community infrastructure, and local opportunities. Guided by a committee of Trego County residents, the fund invests in initiatives that create lasting growth, attract new opportunities, and improve the quality of life for all who live, work, and visit in the county.

Profile

Founded in 2024, the Trego County Enhancement Fund is a newly established field-of-interest fund at the Heartland Community Foundation dedicated to supporting economic development and revitalization projects across Trego County. Guided by a committee of local residents, the fund ensures that grant decisions reflect the needs, priorities, and vision of the community, creating opportunities that strengthen the county’s economy and improve quality of life for all residents.

The fund is designed to be flexible and responsive, supporting a wide range of initiatives — from small business development and entrepreneurship programs to infrastructure improvements, community beautification projects, and efforts that attract new investment or visitors to the county. By focusing on projects that enhance economic vitality and community livability, the fund aims to create lasting impact that benefits both current and future generations.

Because the fund is endowed, gifts made today will continue to generate grants every year. The more the fund grows, the more it can award in annual grants, creating a permanent resource for Trego County’s development and revitalization. The fund’s first grant cycle will take place this coming winter, and local organizations and initiatives are encouraged to apply for funding that aligns with the fund’s mission.

Through the Trego County Enhancement Fund, community members can help shape the future of the county — supporting projects that create opportunity, foster growth, and ensure that Trego County remains a vibrant place to live, work, and visit for generations to come.
