The foundation’s mission is to bring caring people and charitable endeavors together to inspire generosity and strengthen communities. It does this by serving as a vehicle for donors’ charitable dreams, awarding grants to charitable projects and organizations, and addressing community needs as a catalyst and convener.
Community Fund grants support nonprofits serving Kosciusko County in education, health, recreation, arts and culture, civic projects, the environment, and human services. The foundation also lists grant opportunities for education and special initiatives, including infant and toddler care.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate a range of work. Habitat for Humanity of Kosciusko County describes its mission as bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Fellowship Missions says it serves the needs of people experiencing homelessness. Stillwater Hospice describes its work as providing compassionate care for people affected by serious illness. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
