Upon his passing, Walt named the Galesburg Community Foundation as a beneficiary in his will. His goal was to benefit the community he loved. Dan Stoerzbach, Walt’s attorney, said, “Walt was passionate about our community and used the wealth he acquired to double down on his impact here.”

Through Walt’s will, the gift he left to Galesburg Community Foundation was used to establish the Walter & Rose Sampson Fund. Rose was Walt’s wife. The Walter & Rose Sampson Fund is an Impact Fund, meaning it can be used to meet the challenges and demands facing our communities as they arise. Impact Funds are unrestricted dollars that allow the Community Foundation to respond to the opportunities and needs of Knox and Warren Counties and can benefit the nonprofits working here through grants.

“For Walt, giving his wealth to philanthropy was an easy option. Setting up what organizations to give to in a will is simple and a great way to make a difference. I hope many will see the impact giving through a will can have. Hopefully Walt’s gift will encourage many other people to think about giving this way too,” Stoerzbach said.
