The Altrusa International of Quincy, IL Foundation has been in existence since a bequest from deceased member, Pat Kramer. Two scholarships are given each year from the foundation from interest received from this investment as well as donations made to the foundation since its inception.
We also provide literacy grants. Organizations complete an application and the committee determines the amount of the grants. Priority is given to those projects involving literacy.
Scholarships are given to residents of Adams County who apply and meet the eligibility requirements. One scholarship is for high school seniors and one is for an individual already graduated from high school. These are a one year non-renewable award.
