Granite Falls Area Community Foundation to receive $1.2 million for community’s benefit
GRANITE FALLS, Minn.—  The Bush Foundation is awarding the Granite Falls community $1.8 million in honor of its native son Archibald (Archie) Bush. The announcement was made Nov. 7 at the annual grant awards ceremony and donor appreciation event for the Granite Falls Area Community Foundation (GFACF), which will direct the majority of the gift.

What would be the best way to spend the gracious Bush Foundation gift of $200,000 in the Granite Falls area that would have the most impact?   That is the question the Granite Falls Area Community Foundation, along with an array of guests representing that community, struggled with on a recent Sunday evening.
