Table Rock Lake Community Foundation Grantmaking Program
The primary role for the Table Rock Lake Community Foundation (TRLCF) is to establish endowed funds for the purpose of funding a community grant-making program, which addresses the most important needs of the community at any given time. This flexibility is made possible by charitable donors who have established funding programs and have placed the decision-making action in the hands of community leaders serving on the TRLCF Board of Directors. Grant applications accepted June 1st through August 15th. The application materials can be downloaded below. (MS Word format)

TRLCF “Stampedes” to a Successful Year at the Lake
Reeds Spring R-IV School Foundation members accept a check for $25,000 from the Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction in Branson. From left: Jim Holt, John Anglum, Lanny Curnes, Terri Tucker-Wiest, Ron Jett with Dixie Stampede, Dennis Wood and Jan Kirsch.
The past year has been one of transition for the Table Rock Lake Community Foundation, as Jim Holt took over for Connie Johnson as president. But with more than $30,000 in community grants and a huge fundraiser for one its major partners, the TRLCF had an unprecedented year of growth as well.
Perhaps the greatest achievement during the past fiscal year was the success of the Reeds Spring R-IV School Foundation, which raised more than $33,000 to benefit district students. Reeds Spring graduating seniors received $20,500 in scholarships and another $7,000 was awarded in mini-grants to benefit students.
The money was raised through the cooperative efforts of the Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction in Branson, which donated all of the proceeds from their March 4 show to the Foundation. In addition, Grant Wistrom, a former NFL standout with the St. Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks, made an appearance and posed for photos with those who held VIP seats. The evening also featured a silent auction of sports-related items, which netted more than $3,000 in proceeds.
