ALEXANDER'S FUTURE FOUNDATION
(501)(c)(3) STATUS
Alexander's Future Foundation is a (501)(c)(3)organization.
No goods or services are exchanged for donation.
A BRIEF HISTORY
Alexander’s Future Foundation was established in 1992 by interested community members and school personnel to provide financial support for graduates pursuing post-secondary training. The scholarships are sent directly to the institution for tuition or fees.
Thanks to the generous contributions from community members and Alexander staff, Alexander’s Future Foundation’s principal balance continues to grow, allowing the foundation to use the interest to steadily increase the number of awarded scholarships.
Scholarships based on financial need, academic achievement, intended majors, and/or service to the community will be awarded to Alexander High School students in May of each year. These begin at $500.

David Marion Harner, 85, of Albany passed away peacefully in the presence of his family on January 11, 2021, at Grant Medical Center.
David was born October 20, 1935, in Albany, and was the son of the late Marion and Erma (Lawson) Harner.

Gardening and teaching others about farming and agriculture were valued interests, as were showing horses early in his life and later raising and selling Haflinger horses.
David is survived by his wife of 58 years, Maxine; daughters, JoAnn (Scott) Pfeiffer and Janet Harner; and two grandsons, Cody and Jared Pfeiffer. He was quite proud of his family.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by one brother, Jack (Leonard) Harner.
