Morton Gridiron Club Endowment Fund
This Designated Fund was started in April of 2024 by the Morton Gridiron Club football booster club. The purpose of the Fund shall be to make annual distributions to the Morton Gridiron Club to help fund their charitable purpose of supporting the Morton High School program to make it the best experience possible for each participating student.
The Morton Gridiron Endowment Fund was started to give people the option to support the Morton High School football program now and forever. This fund will generate annual grants that can be used by the Morton Gridiron club by illustration, but not limited to the purchase of player equipment, practice equipment, pre-game and on-the-road meals, etc.
Morton Community Unit District 709 (MCUSD 709) provides annual budgeted dollars toward the football program, but grants from this endowment fund can help the program fund additional purchases that are not already covered by District funds, to help improve the experience of participation by students.
If you would like to help, consider a donation in honor of your student’s personal record for the year, in honor of a win, or in recognition of the program’s impact on you personally as an alumni. Donations can be made online by clicking the button below, or by mailing a check to, or stopping by our office at 135 S First Avenue, Morton, IL. 61550.
