Heart of Gold Nomination Form

The Rusk County Community Foundation (RCCF) wishes to recognize “everyday” citizens in our community who touch the hearts of others. The Heart of Gold recipient will be able to direct a gift of $1,000 from RCCF to a Rusk County non-profit of their choosing. We have defined Heart of Gold Recipients as those people who give themselves unselfishly to serve others, collectively or individually, with volunteer acts of service and/or kindness beyond the call of duty. Any person 18 years or older, who enhances the quality of life of someone else is eligible to be nominated. Such acts of service may largely go unnoticed and include, but are not limited to, these acts of volunteerism: helping senior citizens, helping disadvantaged persons, working to improve the quality of education, expanding recreational and cultural opportunities, working with children, protecting the environment, promoting public safety, and unusual acts of kindness.
