triple your impact in wells county
The Wells County Foundation, Inc. has received a $697,000 matching fund grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. as part of the ninth phase of its Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow (GIFT IX) initiative.
Now, we're inviting our community to help us maximize this incredible opportunity.
Give $1. Lilly Endowment Gives $2. Together, That's $3.
For every $1 in qualifying gifts raised for the Foundation's Community Enhancement Endowment Fund, Lilly Endowment will provide $2 in matching funds.
That means your generosity can have three times the impact!
Our goal is to raise $233,000 in qualifying gifts to maximize the Lilly Endowment match. If we reach that goal, the Foundation's unrestricted endowment assets will grow by $697,000.
Why Build the Unrestricted Endowment?
The Community Enhancement Endowment is one of the Foundation's unrestricted funds. Its earnings help provide funding through the Foundation's three annual competitive grant cycles, supporting nonprofit organizations that serve Wells County.
A stronger unrestricted endowment means greater resources for grantmaking—allowing the Foundation to respond to community needs today while building resources for tomorrow.
Your gift isn't just an investment in the Foundation. It's an investment in the organizations and people working to make Wells County a stronger community.
Looking to Leave a Lasting Legacy?
This opportunity isn't only about making a gift today. It can also be a way to create a lasting charitable legacy in Wells County.
Donors may use a qualifying contribution to establish a named unrestricted fund at the Wells County Foundation. Your contribution can be tripled through the Lilly Endowment match, while the fund can continue generating resources for the community for years to come.
A named fund can be a meaningful way to honor a family member, remember someone special, recognize a business or organization, or simply leave your own mark on the future of Wells County.
