The Wabash Valley Community Foundation aims to promote community betterment and improve the quality of life in the Wabash Valley through leadership, resource mobilization, and grantmaking.
The grant program of the Wabash Valley Community Foundation is designed to support projects that address significant needs within the community and promise positive, measurable outcomes. With a preference for prevention over symptomatic solutions, the grants aim to encourage proactive initiatives, enhance cooperation among local institutions, and leverage additional funding through seed, match, and challenge grants. Ideal projects are those that can significantly improve the community, are collaborative in nature, and align with the organization's vision of long-term positive impact. Grant applications are evaluated initially through a one-page "Letter of Intent," with selected projects invited to submit full proposals.
