A NIght to Remember: Project Excellence's Banquet inspires connection

Fundholder Spotlight: Project Excellence 

We're excited to shine the spotlight on one of our generous fundholders, Project Excellence, who recently hosted an incredible Banquet on May 7th.

Project Excellence, a fundholder of the Warren County Foundation, honors outstanding public educators who go above and beyond in the classroom. This recognition celebrates teachers who inspire students, spark a love of learning, and make a lasting impact on future generations. These educators set the standard

for excellence and lead the way for others to follow.

"The Project Excellence Endowment has entrusted their funds with the Warren County Foundation since the Foundation’s beginning in 1997. With their careful management, the fund has grown to over $1.7 million enabling us to award over $595,000 to 790 public educators." 

-Bill Thornton, President,
