A new fund was recently established at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation to provide support for charitable projects, programs and activities that benefit children in Kosciusko County.
The new fund, Piggy Possibilities, will teach kids about giving and help kids help kids.
“I am so excited to get this program off the ground,” said Deeana Marshall, fund founder. “Teaching the younger generation to save, while helping others, is so important today. With Piggy Possibilities kids donate, kids recommend how grant dollars are spent, and kids benefit from the grant dollars.”
Once the money is raised to officially launch the program in the community, elementary school children in Kosciusko County will be invited to pick up a piggy bank from a community partner or their local school. The money collected can be returned to the Community Foundation where the youth philanthropy program, KEYS, will recommend grants from the funds raised to benefit youth.
