The net income from this endowed unrestricted fund supports FSACF’s annual competitive-grant program. In the words of fund founder David Shepherd, the fund was established to “show our appreciation and love for Fort Scott/Bourbon County as the place my family moved to in 1952 and entered the automobile business, which has existed 70+ years. This Fund seeks to also remember my parents, Ray and Mary Shepherd, the founders of our original automobile business.”
