Earlier in the 2016 granting cycle, the Gundlach fund awarded $69,531.75 to 17 community non-profits through their donor-advised endowment. Donor-advised funds are established at the bequest of a donor wishing to provide flexible capital for charitable activities while retaining the ability to make annual grant recommendations to specific projects or interest areas. Upon the death of Herman Gundlach  in 2005, instructions were laid out about how to continue his legacy of giving back to the community he grew up in and worked in. Through the Herman Gundlach Fund, Winks continues to leave his mark on the community he loved.
