As we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year, we begin with an announcement grounded in gratitude. For over two years, we worked toward a lofty goal—raising $1.5 million for our Community Fund to leverage a $3 million matching gift from Lilly Endowment. Because of your generosity and care for this community, we met our goal. This $4.5 million investment in Porter County will create a stronger future for our community, allowing us to provide more support over time to local nonprofits as they plan, adapt, and serve sustainably.
For 30 years, PCCF has served Porter County and those who call it home. We work alongside philanthropic individuals who give for personal and meaningful reasons and in a variety of ways. We walk alongside remarkable organizations, like the ones you will read about in our Winter Newsletter— in mailboxes now— and online over the coming weeks, that nurture and strengthen the most vulnerable members of our community. Thank you for your partnership in this life-changing and community-enhancing work.
I am filled with gratitude for the many individuals, families, and organizations who have trusted the Porter County Community Foundation with their charitable dollars. This year, and in the years to come, we will continue building on this shared strength.
With gratitude,
Bill
