About the Company
Martin and Ann Graber, physician and nurse, came from northern Indiana to the University
Heights area. Dr. Graber served the St. Francis Hospital Emergency Room. After brief medical
mission trips to Tenwick, Kenya, Africa, Marty and Ann committed themselves to a full-time
appointment. Working through World Gospel Mission, they sold their home and began a series
of three-year terms in Kenya. The Graber Fund was established in 1984 with proceeds of that
sale.
In order to facilitate the goals of the Martin and Ann Graber Fund, it is proposed that two
endowments be established. The principal amounts are to be held in escrow, while interest is to
be used in accordance with the described purposes. The Grantors will be notified of the use of
Funds each year.
A Graber Scholarship Fund will be established with a principal amount of $10,000. A
Scholarship Committee will be appointed by the Lay Personnel Committee. This Scholarship
Committee will report to the Administrative Board annually.
