IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0The Foundation is currently no soliciting new contributions from the general public due to the death of C. Louis Sommers, but continues to accept any such contributions it receives. It is currently in the process of distributing the total funds of the Foundation in a specified amount on an annual basis through the scholarships it offers to graduating seniors. It expects to continue this process until all funds are distributed. The Foundation continues to provide services directly for the benefit to the general public by awarding these scholarship grants. The award recipients are chosen by a panel of school administrators without any input from the Foundation. The application process is open to all seniors who meet the eligibility requirements and who are going to continue their education beyond high school. The Foundation represents the broad interest of the public and is not a private foundation per se.
