You don’t have to be wealthy, own a business, or be well known in the community to make a lasting difference. Everyday people making everyday contributions can create extraordinary, long-term change in Vermillion County.
Now is the time to turn your desire to help your community into an investment in its future by donating to an Unrestricted Fund or starting one of your own through the Vermillion County Community Foundation!
Through June 30, 2028, your generosity can go three times as far thanks to Lilly Endowment Inc.’s Gift IX Match Initiative. Every $1 donated to an Unrestricted Fund of your choice will be matched with an additional $2. That means a $25 donation becomes $75, $100 becomes $300, and every contribution has an even greater opportunity to make a difference!
Our goal is to raise $225,000 by June 30, 2028. Reaching that milestone will unlock an additional $450,000 from Lilly Endowment to support the continued growth and improvement of our communities, with an additional $300,000 available through the 1:1 matching initiative.
You don’t have to do something extraordinary to make an extraordinary impact. You just have to start. Give today, encourage others to join you, and be part of something that will benefit Vermillion County for generations to come!
