The William Morrison Trust was established in 1950 under the Will of William Morrison with the sole purpose being to benefit the needy people of Webster City.

The Trust is now accepting grant proposals for such projects.

Proposals for projects will be accepted from individuals, churches, organizations, schools, or governmental bodies.

Requests for general operational funds will not be considered.
