TERTELING FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 2023 DONATION RECIPIENTS
In April, 13 nonprofits were announced as recipients for this year’s Terteling Foundation donation. All of the selected organizations share in The Terteling Foundation’s Area of Focus for 2023: honoring veterans.
The Terteling Foundation’s 2023 Area of Focus supports nonprofits that honor veterans by targeting specific needs, including organizations that focus on basic necessities, education, service animals, mental health, female veterans, remembrance, and outdoor activities for veterans and their families. To contribute to organizations active in our communities, the Terteling Foundation put out a call for recommendations for nonprofits from Western States and AgriService employees.
After receiving more than 20 heartfelt emails suggesting many organizations within our territory, the Board eventually selected 13 nonprofits to each receive $9,615.
