The Christian County Coal Mine Museum is among the organizations awarded grants through the prestigious Joan Kuyper Farver Spirit Award, presented annually by the Pella Rolscreen Foundation. This year, the museum received a $5,000 grant as one of several nonprofits chosen by finalists of the award, which honors Pella Corporation team members for their dedication to community service.

Museum Director, Chuck Martin, explained that it was his daughter, Allison Wiley, a Talent and Acquisition Coordinator, who received the $5,000 as a finalist and gifted the proceeds to the CC Coal Mine Museum. The grant will support the museum's mission of educating visitors and honoring the legacy of coal miners.

The Christian County Coal Mine Museum joins other organizations across the country, such as Arizona Community Impact, 4-H Clubs, and Siouxland Adaptive Sports, in receiving grants that will help further their missions.
