This chart provides a list of community grants, broken out by individual community as well as county-wide:
Important to note: These grants are in addition to annual grant and scholarship distributions from the community foundation’s 100 endowed funds that support charitable efforts.
The Community Foundation of Pulaski County has thoughtfully awarded these grants to support community development, arts and culture, education, human services, health, and environment across the county. Every person in Pulaski County has likely been touched by at least one of these grants.
Lilly Endowment’s current GIFT Phase VI initiative offers a $1 for $1 match for every gift to the Community Grants Fund. The Endowment wants to encourage building such unrestricted funds to increase the community foundation’s capacity to respond to critical needs as they evolve.
For more information, please contact Community Foundation of Pulaski County at 574-946-0906; www.cfopc.org; or visit 127 E Pearl Street, Winamac.
