Big News for Henry County!

A $750,000 Matching Opportunity Is Within Reach

The Henry County Community Foundation has some exciting news to share…

We’re officially pursuing a $750,000 Matching Fund Grant. Lilly Endowment Inc. has offered a 2-for-1 match for all gifts to the Choose Henry Flex Fund through GIFT IX’s Unrestricted Endowment Building. This is a major opportunity that could bring incredible momentum to the work happening right here at home.

Every $1 given to the Choose Henry Flex Fund will be matched with $2

That means more grants, more support for nonprofits, and more lasting solutions for the needs in our community for years to come.

HCCF President Jennifer Fox shares the excitement:

“This matching opportunity will significantly boost our ability to support nonprofits and address community needs as they arise. We’re grateful for Lilly Endowment’s continued investment in Indiana communities and excited for what this could mean for Henry County.”

The Choose Henry Flex Fund gives the Foundation the flexibility to meet the needs that matter most. Whether it’s youth programs, housing, mental health, education, or unexpected challenges, these resources allow us to respond quickly and effectively.

Since 1990, Lilly Endowment’s GIFT initiative has strengthened community foundations across all 92 Indiana counties. GIFT IX continues that tradition by helping local communities grow their philanthropic capacity and prepare for future opportunities.
