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 by the Wabash Valley Community Foundation is designed around the principles of making impactful investments in the community that are visionary, collaborative, and capable of delivering measurable and permanent results. Grant applications should mirror efforts to significantly improve the community, reflecting collaborative efforts, organizational commitment, and potential benefits to a broad community segment. The foundation emphasizes the need for projects to address root causes rather than symptoms, promote inter-institutional cooperation, respond adaptively to community needs, and encourage innovative ideas with a focus on prevention. Priority is given to projects that offer significant community improvements, utilize seed, match, or challenge grants to leverage funds, and foster sustainability.
