Supports the people of the Central Susquehanna Valley through scholarships, grants, and community-focused initiatives; funded by Northway Industries to reinvest company profits into local community impact.
Battram Community Fund Inc gives through a tightly place-based model tied to the Central Susquehanna Valley, with direct support for scholarships, local nonprofit programs, and community initiatives. Its recent grant record shows recurring support for Middleburg- and Selinsgrove-area organizations, alongside education, workforce, and civic needs across Snyder, Union, and Northumberland counties. The fund’s scholarship activity is especially notable in wood products manufacturing, where it supports apprenticeships, training courses, and career development for people pursuing that field. Recent awards show a mix of community institutions and education-related recipients. Middleburg Community Projects Inc received $10,000 in 2024 and another $10,000 in 2025, while Reliance Hose Company No 1 received $10,000 in 2025 after a $5,142 award in 2024. The fund also gave $8,600 to WQSU Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove and $7,000 to Midd-West School District in Middleburg, showing that its giving reaches both public-serving organizations and education providers. The foundation is funded by Northway Industries, which uses the fund to channel company profits back into local community impact.
Education and training are central to the funder’s scholarship activity. Battram Community Fund Inc gave $8,600 to WQSU Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove and $5,000 to Millersville University Scholarship in Millersville, both of which sit within a broader pattern of support for education access and scholarship recipients. Workforce development is especially visible in wood products manufacturing. The foundation awarded $5,000 to Sun Area Technical Institute in New Berlin and supports scholarship programs for apprenticeships, training courses, and career development in wood products-related manufacturing. Community services also appear in the grant record. It gave $5,000 to Richfield Community Center in Richfield and $2,000 to Harvest House Cf Food Pantry in Lewisburg, aligning with its stated support for local charitable programs and food security. Women’s issues are reflected in a $3,000 grant to Expectations Womens Center in Lewisburg.
Typical grants cluster around the middle of the low-thousands: p25 is $3,000, median is $5,000, and p75 is $5,488. The recent record includes repeated awards to the same organizations across years, including Middleburg Community Projects Inc, Reliance Hose Company No 1, WQSU Susquehanna University, East Snyder Region Rec Association, and Sun Area Technical Institute. That repetition suggests ongoing support rather than one-off giving. The fund operates as a community fund tied to Northway Industries, and its active grant programs accept unsolicited applications.
