Here are just a
couple of the responses we have gotten from past recipients:
v
From Waunakee Public Library: “Thank you for your generous donation to create a collection
of Play-away audiobooks for our community. With your support we

and help them participate in discussions relating to
literature.”
v
From the YWCA:
“Thank you for your generous gift to the YWCA which will enable
us to purchase badly needed cribs and toddler beds for the
children in our homeless shelter and in the Third Street
Program. Thank you for making a difference in the lives
of our women, children and families. We deeply appreciate your
confidence and support.”
v
From Horizon High School: “Your gift will make an impact on the lives of young
people in the community who are struggling to get their
lives together, and who can grow and thrive in the small
academic community that Horizon High School offers them.”
v
From the Waunakee Ecumenical Board: “Using our tremendous buying power, we were able to
purchase items for Thanksgiving Baskets at a greatly reduced
price. Your generous grant was used to help over 130
families in the Waunakee area. After receiving her basket,
one of the mothers wrote, ‘This will really help make our
Thanksgiving…..a lot more to be thankful for. God bless all who
working on this.’”
v
From Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestra:
“From all of us at WYSO, thank you for your sponsorship of the
Winterfest Concerts. Your funds go directly toward providing
exceptional services and experiences for our young musicians.
We feel strongly that these experiences will impact these young
people today, but also well into the future as they develop
relationship skills and talents that will serve them throughout
their lives.”
v
From the Prairie Enthusiasts:
“Your grant will
be going towards the repair and renovation of a facility at our
Mounds View Grassland Preserve. The facility is critical
to the restoration and management of this 500-acre preserve. The
facility will be used in outreach and environmental education
activities by youth and adult groups who visit.”
v
From Engineers without Borders: “The Endres Grant put us back on target in the first phase
of our project in Guatemala. It was a smash hit! We installed
solar powered lights in every house in the village of Nueva
Providencia. The residents had no electricity and used candles
to light their houses. There was a buzz in the village as we
preformed the installation. I have never felt so much
appreciation in my life as when the proud home owners turned
on their lights for the first time. The project not only
improved the lives of the Guatemalans, but it enriched the lives
of the 15 Wisconsin student engineers. The world became a
little bit smaller through our project. We gave them a light we
hoped would make a difference in their lives. There
world and ours have permanently changed for the better because
of this experience. Your grant was not simply transfers in a
lump sum --- it exponentially grew and spread in multitudes both
here and abroad.”
