National Grant Award

Royal Neighbors of America presents $3,000


to Boulder Creek woman to help continue a dream

(Rock Island, IL)—

Tamara Lynn Scott, Boulder Creek, was awarded a check for $3,000 from

Royal Neighbors of America as part of the organization’s Nation of NeighborsSM Program to help her

continue to produce media that matters for not-profit cable broadcasts.

Ms. Scott has produced broadcasts, at her own expense, on such subjects as environmental

dangers, healthy foods, and the elimination of hunger. The funds she received will help her continue the

work of lifting humanity through educational outreach.

Focusing on its history of standing strong for women, Royal Neighbors has surpassed the $1

million mark assisting more than 800 families and individuals in reaching their goals and rebuilding

their lives through its Nation of Neighbors Program. The program, which was launched in 2007,

demonstrates the neighbor-helping-neighbor philosophy on which Royal Neighbors was founded in

1895.

Through the 2010 program, determined women of strength and courage are empowered with

financial assistance to rise above challenging circumstances, achieve their full potential, and realize a

sense of renewed personal growth. Each year, Royal Neighbors members and sales agents across the

country are asked to nominate women they know who want to change their lives for the better. A panel

reviews each nomination and determines the recipients and the monetary amounts awarded.

As a non-profit fraternal organization, Royal Neighbors of America exists for the benefit of its

members. It offers insurance products to fulfill a variety of needs for growth, savings, and protection.

Members also receive valuable member benefits and can participate in volunteer activities through

the organization’s local chapters to make a difference in their communities. The organization’s

philanthropic efforts are dedicated to changing women’s lives through its national programs and through

the Royal Neighbors Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity.
