Range donates to Good Neighbors Fund
The Washington County Community Foundation (WCCF) has received a gift of $100,000 from Range Resources in support of the Range Resources Good Neighbors Fund. Established by its namesake in 2018 with a gift of $75,000, the fund supports fire departments and emergency management services organizations in Range’s core operating area. Range increased the gift to $100,000 this year. The fund was made possible through the partnership of Range and its many contractors. Range Resources, recently recognized by WCCF for its philanthropy efforts, has long been partnering with a variety of organizations that serve the Washington County community. On Feb. 1, organizations interested in applying to the Range Resources Good Neighbors Fund will be able to submit their requests electronically using the foundation’s online grant application form available on www.wccf.net. Requests should be limited to $10,000. Grants will be announced in the second quarter. During a recent visit to the South Strabane Fire Department, five representatives from Range Resources and WCCF Chairman Lynne Stout learned about the self-contained breathing apparatus that was purchased using the department’s 2018 Range Resources Good Neighbors Fund grant.
