The Legacy Foundation in Ottumwa, Iowa, is putting its money where its mouth is.
The foundation has awarded $25,000 in grants to six local nonprofits, including $10,000 to the Cardinal Youth Foundation to help with youth development and $15,000 to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition to translate patient guides to Spanish, the Ottumwa Courier reports.
