The Concept of a Community Foundation is as ingenious as it is simple - it is a means to build, over time, substantial endowment funds for a community through contributions large and small. Because these contributions are endowed, they are never spent. Instead, they are permanently invested to produce income. The income earned is then used to help meet the community's charitable needs - from social work to art and culture. So gifts to a Community Foundation continue to benefit your community forever. This is philanthropy in its broadest sense.
The Community Foundation of Grant County, Indiana Inc. was established in late 1984 to serve as a vehicle through which those of us who have lived our lives and earned our livelihoods in Grant County could pool our resources for the benefit of our own community.
