The select boards from Sheffield and Wheelock were appointed trustees and the town clerks from the two towns were appointed administrators of the Trust in 1991.

Each year, eligible post-secondary students and students attending the Miller's Run School receive monies from the Fund. In the fall of 1994, thirty post-secondary students benefitted from the Fund. In the spring of 2014, 24 post-secondary students benefitted.
