The Lancaster Archery Foundation has hired a grant coordinator to spread the word about the foundation’s offerings and to help prospective applicants navigate the grant process.

The new coordinator, Dale Brubaker, has worked part-time in various departments at Lancaster Archery Supply for 12 years, and recently retired from a career in county government where he wrote and administered grants for Lancaster County.

Lancaster Archery Foundation is a nonprofit that provides grants to archery clubs and organizations looking to improve their public training and education programs. The foundation also provides money to colleges with established archery programs that award scholarships to student archers.

The foundation already has awarded thousands of dollars to schools, clubs and other organizations in its first year.

Going forward, Brubaker will oversee the grant applications and reach out to the archery community to generate interest in the foundation’s funding programs.

Operating with the core values of caring, integrity, perseverance and faith, the Lancaster Archery Foundation is dedicated to expanding opportunities for growth in all disciplines of competitive archery.
