The James Hall Family Legacy Fund was recently established at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation to meet the changing needs of Kosciusko County.
Alex Hall, the founder of the fund, shared that his love of philanthropy began at an early age when he was chosen as an eighth-grader to participate in Kosciusko Endowment Youth Services (KEYS), a youth philanthropy program at the Community Foundation.
“KEYS really did change my life,” Alex said. “KEYS gave me something to be passionate about – the good work that nonprofits do for other people.
“Through my role at the Community Foundation now, I have the opportunity to help nonprofits find resources and apply for funding,” said Alex. “I am honored to be able to give back in this new way through a fund that honors four generations of James Halls, three of which have called Kosciusko County their home.”
The donation qualified for a $2 to $1 match. Thanks to an opportunity offered by Lilly Endowment Inc, gifts to Unrestricted/Community Endowment Funds that support local needs may qualify to be matched $2 to $1. This match opportunity ends when the Kosciusko County Community Foundation raises $750,000. Call 574-267-1901 to learn how you can make a difference in our community.
