The Chamber is pleased to announce that the Graduate Retention Program has received a $25,000 English, Bonter, Mitchell grant award for its 2008-2009 operating year. The Graduate Retention Program has entered its fifth year of operation with record results each year. English Bonter Mitchell has provided funding since inception of the program and their consistent support is appreciated very much.
The English, Bonter, Mitchell Foundation was established in 1972 as a tribute to Dr. Calvin English – the first medical director of the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. A Fort Wayne native, Dr. English was instrumental in the formation and success of Lincoln Life. His wife, Mary Tower English, his sister-in-law, Louise Bonter, and his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Mitchell, established the Foundation to honor Dr. English and to continue his legacy of community enrichment for the city he loved. The Foundation’s criteria in selecting recipients mandates that organizations must be operated for public purposes and qualify for not-for-profit status.
