About Us
We are the Ryan Community Endowment leaders. Together, we want to build a thriving future for the hometown we all love. Our citizens have always come together when there is a need: overcoming a devastating tornado in 1974, rebuilding the World’s Largest Umpire, and creating a stunning Veterans Memorial are examples of our shared efforts. With your help, we intend to build on these accomplishments with funding from permanent endowment which will jumpstart signature projects annually – forever. With your financial support, we can build a solid foundation for our community to thrive.
Mission
Inspire our community to “plant the tree whose shade they shall not sit” providing the roots to ensure Ryan remains vibrant and prosperous forever.

Success Story
The Ryan Community Endowment has met the initial goal of creating a $450,000 endowment, securing a $100,000 grant from an anonymous donor. Jeff Zumbach, treasurer for the team, “We were able to make six initial grants totaling over $17,000 this past summer through this initiative. We celebrated with 50 residents and grantees and I think our townspeople could really see and feel the impact of this annual fund. We gained momentum announcing awards for the Fire Department, American Legion, Peace Lutheran, St. Patrick’s gym, Ryan Ballpark and Ryan Memorial.”
