White Family Foundation Grant Program
The purpose of the White Family Foundation Fund, a fund of the Community Foundation of Hancock County, is to assist local community development and support initiatives that enhance the desire to live, work, and play in Hancock and Henry counties.
The White Family Foundation Fund is a donor advised fund, which makes this grant cycle unique. A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving vehicle administered by a public charity (in this case, the Community Foundation) created to manage charitable donations on behalf of organizations, families, or individuals (in this case, the White Family). In this grant cycle, the White Family reviews applications, interviews applicants, and makes grant recommendations to the Community Foundation based on their charitable goals and interests. The donor also has the flexibility to extend their philanthropy beyond the amount originally allocated.
