ABOUT THE FOUNDATIONS
SVARRE FOUNDATION
The Svarre Foundation was established by Ingvard & Clara Svarre in 1959. Since that time,
the Foundation has provided scholarship funds annually to needy students who are serious
about their educational plans.
A native of Denmark, Mr. Svarre was an original founder of the Sidney Livestock Market
Center, and farmed and fed cattle in the Sidney area for many years. He believed in the value
of hard work, and was a leader in efforts to improve the economy of his community.
In their later years, the Svarres contributed both time and money to many worthwhile causes,
especially those which are designed to benefit young people who need assistance for a start in
life. Favorite charities were Yellowstone Boys Ranch, Concordia College and the Boy Scouts
of America.
Mrs. Svarre and the Svarre Foundation were major donors to initiate the building of the new
swimming pool in Sidney, now named for Mr. & Mrs. Svarre.
Applicants for a Svarre Foundation Scholarship need to realize that serious academic effort is
required to retain a scholarship once awarded.
DAYTON FOUNDATION
The Dayton Foundation was established in 1980 by Lela Dayton. Lela and Oakley Dayton
farmed and ranched in Western Richland County for many years. Mrs. Dayton was office
manager for S&H Cattle Company and Yellowstone Livestock Company for nearly 40 years.
Since the Foundation was formed, it has provided annual scholarship funds to needy students
with serious educational goals. The Dayton ranch continues to provide income to fund these
scholarships. Water rights were developed with assistance from Frank Daniels, a long time
operator of the ranch. These rights have contributed to the current value of the ranch.
Applicants for a Dayton Foundation Scholarship should realize that continuing use of
awarded scholarship funds require serious academic effort.
