MAMF Charities​

The Black Silo Foundation is proud to support Northern Missouri charities through its annual Mid-America Music Festival.  Since 2018, the Black Silo Foundation has donated over $70,000 to area charities. This year the festival is supporting Bright Futures Trenton and BTC Area Youth Benefit Corp.

BRIGHT FUTURES TRENTON

By engaging the community, Bright Futures Trenton creates a learning atmosphere that enables students and teachers to focus on education and achieving success. Bright Futures operates under the belief that when communities invest their time, talent, and treasure in their schools, students are more likely to stay in school through graduation, have a higher degree of self-worth and confidence, and set and reach goals for the future. In turn, these students grow up to be better neighbors, quality employees, and impactful leaders in their communities.

BTC AREA YOUTH BENEFIT CORP.

BTC Area Youth Benefit Corp. (AYBC) was established in 2012 by BTC Bank employees who wanted to make a bigger impact on the lives of local youth. Their vision was to expand BTC Bank’s ability to support youth initiatives beyond the constraints of traditional community banking contributions. Officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2013, AYBC provides financial support for programs, activities, and opportunities that help young people gain the experiences and skills they need to grow, lead, and contribute to their communities.

AYBC has contributed over $400,000 to youth in Missouri and Southern Iowa. These funds have supported a variety of initiatives, including educational programs, civic and school sports, scholarships, community activities, and leadership training.
