Mary Gibble, President and Michelle Leonard, Advancement
Officer of Hancock County Community Foundation (HCCF) told Kiwanis about the
You Give, We Match program. The
Foundation was established during the GIFT program from Lilly Endowment
Inc. In 1992 HCCF had assets of $2,394
which has grown to over $30 million dollars this year.
Over $609,000 in grants were made this year. Only $208,000 of that amount came from unrestricted
funds. Unrestricted Funds allows HCCF to make grants in response to community
needs. The Kenneth Butler Memorial Soup
Kitchen and Greenfield Unit of Salvation Army benefited from the Unrestricted
Grants.
Lilly Endowment is offering up to $1 miillion to HCCF in a
matching grant. If you would like to
participate in this matching opportunity contact Hancock County Community
Foundation at 317.462.8870 or http://givehcgrowhc.org/
