History of the Endowment Fund
Built to support future generations.
An anonymous $20,000 gift launched the Foundation’s endowment drive in October 2000. Donors contributed $129,000 in its first year, establishing a permanent source of support for students.
In 2020, a generous bequest from the Estate of Jane P. French moved the Endowment beyond $1 million and made annual distributions possible.
A lasting legacy
Jane Layland French and Dick French
Fremont High School sweethearts Jane and Dick remained connected to their school community throughout their lives. Jane’s bequest helped the Endowment begin supporting new generations of students each year.
