Community agencies receive grants from Stevick Foundation

CHAMPAIGN – Several local groups have been awarded $60,000 in Marajen Stevick Foundation grants through the Community Foundation of East Central Illinois.

Bill Nugent, president of the Stevick Foundation, which includes The News-Gazette, WDWS and WHMS, and several weekly newspapers, said the grants reflect the values of the late Marajen Stevick Chinigo, who owned the paper for decades after the deaths of her parents, David and Helen Stevick.
