New down payment assistance program available to home buyers. Kosciusko County partnered with the Housing Resource Hub and the Club 720 mobile app to help deliver this program to home buyers. The Community Foundation funded $25,000 toward the development of Club 720 as part of its Working Together initiative.

$200,000 in Sustainability Grants awarded to local nonprofits. Funded by the Community Foundation, K21 Health Foundation, and the Dekko Foundation, this one-time award helped 20 local nonprofits invest in their long-term sustainability.

Searching for scholarships? Apply here!

Did you know that the Community Foundation has more than 115 scholarship funds? Each year, we award more than $600,000 from those funds! Both traditional and non-traditional students are welcome to apply for scholarships to cover tuition, books and academic fees. Most of these scholarship funds require residency in Kosciusko County, Ind., or attendance at a high school serving Kosciusko County in order to be eligible.

National Philanthropy Week 2022

To celebrate National Philanthropy Week each November, we partner with WRSW 107.3 and Willie 103.5 and their listeners to give away a handful of $100 grants to local charities! Community Foundation staff and board members take part in on-air interviews to talk about philanthropy. Two callers are chosen each day to nominate their favorite charities to receive a grant.

This year, these organizations received grants: The Salvation Army, Animal Welfare League, Lakeland Christian Academy, Mentone Youth League, Kosciusko County Council on Aging, Isaiah 11 Ministries, Kosciusko County 4-H, and the Steve Bradford Memorial Fund.
