Our community thrives because people like you believe in creating a strong and vibrant future for all who call Fountain County home. Unrestricted Funds (aka Community Funds) — the most flexible type of philanthropy — allow our community foundation to respond to today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow’s opportunities.
We’re excited to share that Lilly Endowment Inc. will once again match all gifts made to our community foundation’s unrestricted funds on a $2-for-$1 basis. For every dollar you give, Lilly Endowment adds two more!
Our goal is to raise $375,000 by June 30, 2028, unlocking $750,000 in matching dollars — a total of $1.125 million in new unrestricted resources to strengthen our communities for generations to come.
These gifts will allow us to support a wide range of community projects throughout Fountain County, including park programs, local schools, food pantries, animal shelters, Head Start programs, fire departments, libraries, and more.
While the campaign runs through mid-2028, the best time to act is now by choosing the area you’d like to support: Attica, Covington, or Southeast Fountain.
- Year-end 2025 gifts count toward your charitable giving goals and tax benefits.
- Early gifts grow faster, earning investment income right away.
- Matching funds are limited — once they’re claimed, they’re gone.
Support from people across our community has already made a meaningful difference. By contributing today, you help strengthen our shared future and expand the foundation’s ability to meet our region’s greatest needs.
Please consider making your year-end gift now to take full advantage of this opportunity. Together, we can turn $375,000 into $1.125 million for our community’s future.
THANK YOU!
