Happy Halloween from all of us here at the Springfield Foundation! 👻🎃

Today we are spotlighting recent Legacy Society Inductee, Jennifer Rousculp Miller. She moved here in 2007 to serve as the Superintendent for the Clark County Board of Developmental Disabilities. After 32 years, she retired in 2020 and continues to call Clark County home.

Her legacy gift to the Foundation will be unrestricted so that it may support the ever-changing needs of our community through our competitive grant cycle.

Thank you, Jenny, for leaving a lasting legacy with the Springfield Foundation! ✨🧡
