Taking Flight x2: a Matching Campaign to Put $500,000 to Work in Our Community

 Taking Flight x2

 

Why Give

Community Funds  help us respond to changing needs, right here at home in Marshall County. Grants from our Community Fund help support programs that provide services and resources to low-income families, provide arts and cultural experiences in our area, support victims of domestic violence, nonprofit childcare programs, trails and recreational projects, and so much more!

Why Now

Right now, through the Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow (GIFT VI) initiative, every dollar you give to our Community Fund will be matched by Lilly Endowment Inc., up to $250,000 – putting a total of $500,000 to work in our community! The deadline for us to reach our $250,000 goal is March 31, 2016. However, we anticipate this match campaign will be popular and match dollars will be awarded on a first given, first matched basis.
