2011 marked our 20th Anniversary and HCCF was able to grant over $280,000 for scholarships and worthy projects.

Most people in the community know us for our named scholarships. Aside from the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship, we currently oversee 30 scholarships of varying awards and legacies to assist deserving students in furthering their education and enriching the future leaders of Huntington County.

Second to scholarships, people know we impact the community through grants. Each year honoring those namesakes and their legacies, thousands of dollars are disbursed to local charities from our named permanent funds. In addition, HCCF has two "Make a Difference" grant cycles where we award funds to local nonprofit agencies to accomplish projects which benefit our community now and for years to come.

What is not so well known is that everything we are accomplishing today was set up through the forethought and generosity of friends, relatives, co-workers, and neighbors one donation at a time across two decades. Even the very first contributions made through HCCF continue to benefit the donor's passions in the community as much now as 20 years ago.

Partnering with your community foundation is the gift that keeps on giving. The donations made today help today, but long after donors have gone their contributions live on. They continue to address the current needs throughout our community making Huntington County a better place to live and work for all generations to come.

A fun way to donate is to participate in one of our annual events. Show your support and have some fun in our June 19th Golf Outing, or learn more about our scholarships, their donors, and meet some of the scholars at our Scholarship Recognition Dinner.
