Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
We are so excited to announce that the Imperial Community Foundation Fund has been approved to bring Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to all Chase County families! The Imagination Library provides one FREE book every month to each child that is enrolled until his or her 5th birthday! Early Childhood Education is important to us and we recognize how critical it is for children to begin reading and develop a love of books at a young age! Through the Imagination Library, your family’s library will begin to grow! There is absolutely no cost to sign up for the program, and there are no strings attached. We just want your children to have free books! For more information about the program, please see this brochure. To enroll your child, please visit https://imaginationlibrary.com/check-availability/ or call or visit our community champion, the Lied Imperial Public Library, at (308) 882-4754. A very special thanks to Highline Electric Association for an initial grant to start the program and to Allo Communications for an additional grant to ensure the program will be a continued success for years to come!
Unrestricted Endowment Campaign
UPDATE: Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of donors, we successfully completed the Building Community Capacity challenge grant from the Sherwood Foundation!!! In four short years, we have raised an additional $750,000 for Imperial’s “future fund”! Although the campaign is over, it is never too late to contribute to our unrestricted endowment. Your contributions will continue to grow and forever benefit our community. There are a variety of different ways to give to your hometown, please click here for more information.
Imperial has been selected to receive a generous $250,000 challenge grant from the Sherwood Foundation. The Imperial Community Foundation Fund is now in the final year of our 4-year fundraising campaign to raise $500,000 for our unrestricted endowment to receive that challenge grant. Growing our unrestricted endowment will provide the ICFF funds every year to make impactful grants to our community, its organizations, and its projects to continue to improve the quality of life in the Imperial area for generations to come. By successfully raising our $500,000 goal and receiving the $250,000 challenge grant, the Imperial Community Foundation Fund will have an extra $30,000 per year to provide significant support our our vibrant community. Please join our campaign by donating to our unrestricted endowment. Donations received by December 31, 2020 will count toward our campaign progress.
