The Thomas and Corinne Nyquist Foundation is a family foundation.
It was formed in 2004 to provide financial support for local initiatives and programs of nonprofit organizations and groups in New Paltz, NY, and in Roosevelt County, Montana, with emphasis on the communities of Bainville, Culbertson, and Froid.
Grants
The Nyquist Foundation awards small grants to local nonprofit organizations in the towns of Bainville, Froid and Culbertson, MT and New Paltz, NY annually. Past grant recipients have included the Froid Library to augment their Montana Collection, Historic Huguenot Street to support a series of guided tours focusing on native plants, Culbertson Museum for a facilities upgrade, the Town of Froid for updates to their Community Center, The Mill Brook Preserve to install bog bridges, and the Mohonk Preserve to create new trail markers.
Scholarships and Essay Contest
The Nyquist Foundation administers annually two Robert and Ruth Nyquist scholarships to graduating seniors at the Bainville Public High School and holds a Community Essay Contest at Froid, Culbertson, and Brockton High Schools.
The Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary
The Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary is now owned and under the stewardship of the Walkill Valley Land Trust. The Sanctuary had previously been purchased by the Tom and Corinne Nyquist Foundation in 2006 in order to ensure that current and future generations locally had a place where they can enjoy nature in a “forever wild” setting. The Walkill Valley Land Trust is continuing on this mission.
