innovative educational opportunities in School District #564 through
partnerships involving alumni, parents, educators, businesses,
and the greater community.
Est. 1990
The Thief River Falls Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization
Special thanks to Digi-Key for sponsorship of this annual report
Thank you so much to all our supporters and volunteers.
Annual Report 3
The Board and Staff of the Thief River Falls Education Foundation would like to
thank all of its donors and volunteers for their generosity over the past years. The
donation of dollars and time have allowed the Foundation to meet its goal of
enhancing a student’s education by providing opportunities that are not otherwise
available to that student.
The opportunities include, among many other things, advance scientific equipment in classrooms, advance reading opportunities, enhanced musical opportunities, and presentations and instruction by outside parties to further educate and
inspire students. We believe this demonstrates that the Foundation has been successful in meeting its goal. However, this has only been possible due to the generosity of our donors. We sincerely hope you will continue to remember us in the
future.
Our new Executive Director, Vanessa Martell, has continued in the footsteps of
her recent predecessors, Denise Laymon and Jodi Larson. Vanessa has no lack
of enthusiasm in her position. She also has lots of fun. If you have questions,
comments, or suggestions regarding the Foundation, Vanessa would like to hear
from you.
The Foundation has conducted events to both let people know about the
Foundation and to raise funds. The events include golf tournaments, a mystery
dinner theatre, community events, and other similar activities. We appreciate
those who participate in these events. We would encourage suggestions as to
other events we can sponsor or co-sponsor.
The Foundation has opportunities for those who are capable of volunteering time.
Our Staff, Vanessa and Karen, appreciate the time that is volunteered and fully
acknowledge that they could not accomplish what needs to be done without that
volunteered time.
The Foundation will continue moving forward. We sincerely hope that we will continue to receive the generous donations of dollars and time that have allowed us
to move forward.
Again, thanks for all of your donations of dollars and time that have greatly
enhanced the education experience of the students in the Thief River Falls education system.

Endowments
An endowment is a permanent fund bestowed upon the Thief River Falls
Education Foundation to be used for a specific purpose. It could be used for
special projects, to underwrite a specific program, or for operations. All of these
endowments are funded entirely by the families, individuals, or organizations
that have endowed them.
Visit the Foundation website at:
www.trfeducationfoundation.com
for complete information on each individual fund.
Swenson Endowment Fund
Gladys Person Memorial Endowment
Alumni Century Endowment
Gene & Gretchen Beito Endowment
Andy & Mollie Williamson Memorial Endowment
Hess Family Endowment
Orin & Marge Green Family Endowment
Full Stride Fund
Prowler Pride Fund
Delores & Wallace Torkelson Endowment
Endowment funds are easy to establish and they last indefinitely. They can be
launched now with current gifts, or created later through a will bequest or other
deferred gift. Another possibility is to start an endowment now and add to it later
through a bequest. Of course, the advantage of getting an endowment started
now is that you can enjoy the experience of seeing your gift at work while you
are alive.
Education Enhancement Funds
This is an opportunity to see your dollars reach many students and have an
impact on their educational experiences. Every six months the teachers and
staff of School District 564 have an opportunity to request funds through a grant
process, to help them with projects, equipment, or resources that will assist them
in their own classrooms to better serve our students. You and your loved one
can be a part of that opportunity.
