Kosciusko 4-H Council Meets EC50 Challenge
By Staff Report-
Kosciusko County 4-H Council is the seventh organization to have successfully completed the fundraising portion of the challenge.
Participating organizations committed to raising $10,000 for their endowment and to participate in multiple trainings focused on sustainability and donor development. In return, the youth serving organizations would receive $40,000 in matching funds for a total of $50,000 for their endowment funds.
“Congratulations to the Kosciusko County 4-H Council,” said Suzie Light, Community Foundation CEO. “We are excited that this fund will provide the resources for 4H club members to build additional skills, character and knowledge.”
Endowment funds provide a charity with a consistent annual stream of revenue. The principle is not spent. It’s invested and the earnings from that investment support the work of the charity, forever, according to a news release from the Community Foundation.
The EC50 was made possible through the financial partnership of Dekko Foundation, Kosciusko County Community Foundation, the Ruth Lilly Philanthropic Foundation and the Dr. Dane & Mary Louise Miller Foundation.
Since 1968, Kosciusko County Community Foundation Inc. has helped donors achieve their charitable dreams. The Community Foundation is a public charity that grants over $2 million annually in the areas of education, health, arts and culture, recreation, civic projects, environment and human services. Gifts made to the Community Foundation are tax-deductible.
