Starke County Community Foundation (SCCF) is on its way to a $750,000 match in funding from the Lilly Endowment. The Foundation is participating in Lilly’s GIFT VIII. So far, more than $57,000 has been raised locally in the 2-1 matching program. Lilly Endowment will provide $750,000 if the community foundation raises $375,000 for community funds by the end of 2025. Community Funds generate flexible grant dollars, allowing the Foundation’s grant committee to assess the greatest local needs to help address. Local non-profits and charitable groups can apply for this funding all year round and the committee considers applications on a quarterly basis.
