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 "Creating a Better Tomorrow" initiative by the Wabash Valley Community Foundation targets the improvement of mental health, substance use, and homelessness issues within its service area, specifically in Clay, Sullivan, and Vigo counties. Funded through a generous $1 million gift by a local family, the foundation aims to identify and support impactful partnerships and opportunities between non-profit stakeholders and governmental entities. The initiative offers two types of funding to programs that are proven to work and can be replicated within the specified counties. Up to ten Supporting Grants of up to $10,000 each will be provided for supplies, training, and equipment to enhance existing programs. The grant process involves submitting Letters of Intent through the Community Foundation’s online application system, with selected organizations invited to submit a full proposal.
The funding priorities are outlined as below:
