Batesville, IN – Friendship State Bank pledged $25,000 toward Kids Discovery Factory’s (KDF) creation of an interactive STEAM discovery center. According to Katie Sparks, Marketing Coordinator for Friendship State Bank, “We believe KDF is going to be a great asset to Batesville and all of southeastern Indiana.”
Kids Discovery Factory recognizes the value of the donation beyond its financial impact. “We are energized by Friendship State Bank’s decision to invest in our permanent location. It is especially exciting that they chose to donate so early in the campaign, to not only show their own support, but to also inspire others to get involved,” said Amber McGuire, KDF Executive Director.
During the Batesville City Council meeting on Monday, McGuire along with members of the Board of Directors of KDF presented an outline for the centers building project and also made the request for a $1 million multi-year investment from the City. No decisions were made on funding during the meeting but Council asked several quests regarding other funding sources and sustainability during the meeting.
