10th Annual Women's Grantmaking Gala

We had a blast at this year's Women's Circle of Friends

Grantmaking Gala!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and everyone

who helped make it possible!

This year's presenters were The New Castle Band, Henry County Young Life, and Believe and Achieve Mentoring (BAM). The New Castle Band won the vote for the evening and received half of the grant, while the other half was split between the remaining two organizations.

Stay tuned to hear more about this great event in the coming weeks!

The Right Tools to Grow a Fund and

Provide Opportunities for Students

During their time in the Knightstown area, Doug served on the board of directors with the Henry County Community Foundation. He could see what scholarships were capable of in the community, and he understood the value of an endowment. Doug explained, “It’s amazing how a fund can grow. What started as a $126,000 gift in 1986 has grown into over $1,000,000 by using the tools available with endowed funds. Some people aren’t sure about giving because they think their gift is too little or insignificant. But to the student who receives the scholarship, it’s not insignificant.”

Remembering Robert and Impacting the Lives of Students

“I hope that in its own small way, it can help youth do things they wouldn’t ordinarily be able to do.” - Sally Howard
