We are incredibly grateful to Anderson State Bank for this transformational gift to the future of ROWVA students and educators.
The Anderson State Bank 150 Fund, held at the Community Foundation, will create opportunities for generations to come. Thank you to both organizations for believing in our schools and community.
For 150 years, Anderson State Bank has grown with this community — and now we’re investing in the generations who will shape the next 150.
We’ve established the Anderson State Bank 150 Fund (ASB 150 Fund), a $150,000 permanent endowment at Galesburg Community Foundation for the benefit of the ROWVA Public School Foundation (RPSF) and its mission of strengthening ROWVA schools and supporting students and educators.
GCF President & CEO Josh Gibb shared: “Established as a permanent endowment, the fund will provide annual support to ROWVA students and teachers not just today, but for years to come.”
The ASB 150 Fund will help expand classroom innovation, extracurricular programs, technology and STEM projects, arts and agriculture opportunities, and teacher‑led ideas that fall outside traditional budgets. Many of our own employees — ROWVA alumni, parents, grandparents, and volunteers — helped shape the fund’s mission and will remain involved in its long‑term impact.
RPSF President Pete Holmes added: “We are incredibly grateful to Anderson State Bank for this extraordinary investment in our schools and community. The lasting impact of this gift will be felt for generations.”
We’re proud to honor our past by investing in the future of ROWVA.
