Celebrating Community Foundation Week: November 12–18
The Henry County Community Foundation is excited to join community foundations across the nation in celebrating Community Foundation Week, November 12–18!
This special week recognizes the vital role community foundations play in bringing people together to meet local needs and create opportunities for the future. For more than a century, community foundations have helped generous individuals connect their giving to meaningful causes.
Rooted in Henry County
Since 1985, the Henry County Community Foundation has been partnering with caring donors to build a stronger, more vibrant community. As an independent public charity, the Foundation stewards funds from individuals, families, and organizations, directing those gifts to programs and nonprofits that make a lasting difference.
Whether it’s supporting scholarships for local students, grants for vital services, or long-term initiatives that shape our county’s future, every gift given through the Foundation stays right here working for Henry County, forever.
We’re Growing Through Generosity
This year, Community Foundation Week is significant as we celebrate an incredible opportunity for local impact:
Lilly Endowment Inc. has offered a 2-for-1 match for all gifts to the Choose Henry Flex Fund.
That means for every $1 you give, Lilly Endowment will add $2—tripling your generosity!
Gifts to the Choose Henry Flex Fund help address the most pressing needs in our community, from education and health to housing and beyond. This flexible fund enables the Foundation to respond quickly and effectively to emerging needs and challenges.
Your gift today doesn’t just help Henry County; it multiplies your impact for generations to come.
Celebrating Philanthropy
During Community Foundation Week, we also celebrate National Philanthropy Day on November 15th to honor the everyday generosity of our neighbors.
From volunteers and nonprofit leaders to donors and community partners, we’re surrounded by people who show what it means to care.
Together, we’re building a legacy of kindness and connection.
