“Life is…a sort of splendidtorch which I’ve got a hold offor the moment and I want tomake it burn as brightly aspossible before handing iton to future generations.” - George Bernard Shaw

The Community Foundation torch is fueled by the generous people among us. Here in the Wabash Valley, we are truly fortunate that there are so many generous individuals, organizations and businesses whose concern for the community generates the flame of giving. We are fortunate, too, that through the Community Foundation, that flame grows and intensifies, lighting the way to improve quality of life for today’s and future generations.

M I S S I O NThe mission of the Wabash Valley Community Foundation is to engage people, build resources and strengthen community in the Wabash Valley.

V I S I O N The Wabash Valley Community Foundation will be the primary steward of endowed funds and a leader that encourages broad-based charitable activity in the Wabash Valley.

Of all the circumstances that came together – location, resources, commerce, transportation – to make Clay, Sullivan and Vigo counties what they are today, none could explain the culture of our communities without one very human attribute: generosity.

Throughout our history, generous men and women, rich and poor, have stepped up to solve problems, provide education, cultural opportunities, help the needy and promote the common good.

For example, Clay County owes much to Dr. Robert Maurer, who helped to found the Clay Civic Memorial Foundation. In Sullivan County, a similar spirit of generosity led Culbert Sherman to start Mary Sherman Hospital and create the Sherman Scholarship Fund, which provides significant aid to county scholars. What would Vigo County have been without entrepreneur Chauncey Rose, who donated generously to education and to care of the sick, widows and orphans? And yet, theirs is only part of the impact of charitable giving.

The Wabash Valley Community Foundation, which celebrated its 23rd anniversary in 2014, is a relative newcomer in our charitable history. It is a vehicle for all of us to provide for scholarships and grants to people and organizations who call this special place “home.” This annual report chronicles some of the reasons that 2014 was a very good year for the Foundation. Words and figures can shed light on deeds, but it is difficult to grasp the enormous impact that thousands of generous contributions have made. High school graduates have seen college made possible. Hunger for

many has been alleviated. Arts and culture have reached young and old. Organizations have been given tools to help them serve our diverse populations.

As our asset base grows, more resources are made available. At the end of our fiscal year, we were managing 498 individual endowments, an increase of 14.6% over 2013, and our asset base had grown to $45.8 million, an increase of $4.3 million.

As our year came to an end, we received an unexpected challenge gift from Lilly Endowment Inc.: the sixth phase of its philanthropic initiative called Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow, or GIFT. GIFT VI provides $1 million in matching money for Vigo County and $500,000 each for Clay and Sullivan counties. At the program’s end in March 2016, we will have added as much as $4 million to our permanent endowment, enabling us to significantly increase the amount of money available to support local needs.

We are grateful to Lilly Endowment for this opportunity, but now the responsibility shifts to you and me to generate the matching funds. In the spirit of Dr. Maurer, Culbert Sherman and Chauncey Rose, please consider how you can help. It is your generosity that enables good to be done, for this and future generations, improving lives and opportunity for all who live here, and making the Wabash Valley a better place.

Sincerely,

Fred Nation President

G E N E R O U S P E O P L E

The generous donors listed here have created or added to legacies that are at work every day, improving quality of life in the Wabash Valley.

Since it began serving Clay, Sullivan and Vigo counties, the Wabash Valley Community Foundation has engaged donors and volunteers from a range of generations. Quite often, an individual or family will establish a named fund to honor parents or grandparents.

For example, three generations of the Felstein family have been generous donors to the Foundation. Allen and Millie Felstein transferred the assets of his parents’ private foundation to create the George I. and Rose E. Felstein Fund. Later, Allen and Millie transferred the assets of their own private foundation to create the Allen and Mildred D. Felstein Charitable Endowment Fund. More recently, Allen and Millie’s grandchildren established the Felstein Grandchildren Fund in Memory of Allen and Millie Felstein. Other donor families with multi-generational involvement include the Drummys, the McKees and the Shagleys.

The Legacyof CommunityFoundations

One hundred years ago, the community foundation concept was born when Frederick H. Goff led the creation of a “community trust” in Cleveland, Ohio, giving rise to a new philanthropy, a new way of participating in community and a new vision for the future.

The trust would pool the charitable resources of Cleveland’s philanthropists into a permanent endowment for the betterment of the city. The interest that the trust’s resources would accumulate would be distributed by community leaders to fund “such charitable purposes as will best make for the mental, moral, and physical improvement of the inhabitants of Cleveland.” Within five years, community foundations were at work in Chicago, Boston, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Indianapolis.

Today – four generations later – our Wabash Valley Community Foundation represents the legacy of that original foundation. Operating on much the same concept developed in Cleveland all those years ago, we are one of more than 700 community foundations in the United States that collectively manage more than $48 billion in assets and distribute some $4.5 billion a year to community needs.

Harlan FundBenefitsHull Cemetery

Charles L. Harlan was a U.S. Army veteran and rural mail carrier with deep family ties in southern Vigo County. When he passed away in 2011 at the age of 93, he was buried at Hull Cemetery in Prairieton Township next to his wife Ruth Jean and son Charles W. Charles’s mother Ollie, who was a Hull, was also buried there, and he was concerned about the upkeep of the cemetery where so many family members were interred. He arranged with the Community Foundation to establish the Harlan Hull Cemetery Fund to provide ongoing maintenance. Mike Johnson, president of the Hull Cemetery Association, said it was often a struggle to get the funds for maintenance, even to mow the lawn. “This fund has certainly been important for us,” Johnson said. Upkeep like mowing, tree trimming, brush cleaning and drive improvements can be taken care of now. “We have a long list of new projects we want to do in the future,” Johnson said. “Because it’s through the Foundation, we know the money will be there long after we’re gone and someone else is taking care of it.”

GENEROUS PEOPLE Generate Legacies For Generations

All donors to the Community Foundation are acknowledged, regardless of the size of their gift. Should a donor prefer anonymity, the Wabash Valley Community Foundation protects the identity and confidentiality of the donor.

Wabash Valley Community Foundation ANNUAL REPORT 2014

Through the Foundation,there are Many Ways to be

G E N E R O U S .

The generous people of the Wabash Valley can make donations to the Community Foundation in any of the many ways described here. Thanks to the Lilly Endowment GIFT initiative’s $1-for-$1 match, any gift made from August 1,

2014 through March 31, 2016, will be doubled when you give to a new or existing unrestricted endowment fund. Your financial, tax or estate planner can help you select the type of gift that best suits your needs.

11

GENEROUS PEOPLE Generate Legacies For Generations

G E N E R O U S .

C A S H is the easiest way to donate, whether it is actual cash or a check. The Foundation’s online giving platform, Wabash Valley Gives is a convenient way to give using a credit or debit card.

R E A L E S T A T E or P E R S O N A L P R O P E R T Y may be given to the Foundation. Of course, all gifts qualify for a charitable tax deduction in the year the gift was made.

A P P R E C I A T E D S E C U R I T I E S, when donated, allow you to avoid paying the capital gains tax while providing an accompanying income tax deduction for the current fair-market value.

A T E S T A M E N T A R Y G I F T, such as a bequest in your will, is one way you can create your charitable legacy .

T R A N S F E R R I N G L I F E I N S U R A N C E , with the Foundation named as the beneficiary and owner of an existing or new policy, allows you an immediate tax deduction, which usually approximates the cash surrender value of the policy. Insurance premiums paid after the transfer of the policy may be deductible as a charitable contribution.

A C H A R I T A B L E R E M A I N D E R T R U S T allows you or someone you choose to receive an income for life from assets transferred to a trust. The transfer also qualifies as a charitable deduction, the amount of which is determined by the age of the income recipient and the payout rate. When the trust ends, the trust remainder is placed in a permanent fund in your name in the Community Foundation, with the charitable distributions made in accordance with your wishes.

A C H A R I T A B L E G I F T A N N U I T Y is a simple way to make a substantial gift while retaining the right to a lifetime income. The amount of income is fixed, based on your age. When the income is no longer needed, the remainder supports the charitable cause you have selected.

A C H A R I T A B L E L E A D T R U S T allows the Foundation to receive an annual payment during your lifetime or for a specified number of years. When the trust terminates, the principal is returned to you or others you have designated.

P R I V A T E F O U N D A T I O N S or T R U S T S often require significant time and money to manage. By transferring your private foundation or charitable trust to the Community Foundation, all responsibilities for reports and administrative duties will be carried out by the staff of the Foundation. Since the Foundation is a public charity and does not pay excise tax, more income is available for charitable purposes.

A D E F E R R E D F U N D may be created, which will not receive any gift from you until some time in the future, perhaps as a part of your estate plan. The Foundation will work cooperatively with you and your financial planner, attorney or accountant to create an endowment that will ensure that your wishes are properly followed when the deferred gift is received.

G E N E R A T E L E G A C I E S

Each of us has the power to improve the

lives of others, now and in the future.

As individuals, we do that by paying forward the good deeds that have been done for us, generating a legacy of good for our children and their children. Collectively, through our gifts to

the Community Foundation, we generate legacies that will last forever. The Community Foundation is a generator, preserving the original gift and distributing the investment earnings for current needs. Each endowment fund is a renewable resource for now and for generations to come. Throughout this section of our annual report, we have listed 498 named endowment funds established by our generous donors over the past 23 years.

Generous People GENER ATE LEGACIES For Generations

Creating a fund in the Wabash Valley Community Foundation is an effective and efficient way to generate resources that will benefit Clay, Sullivan and Vigo county

communities on a perpetual basis. As a donor to the Foundation, you can customize a fund that will support the charitable purposes or organizations that are most important to you.

U N R E S T R I C T E D E N D O W M E N T F U N D SIf you wish to generate resources for your community to meet future needs, assist an existing program or even start a new one, the unrestricted fund will be your choice. Your resources will be granted by local volunteers in your county for purposes that are meaningful and timely. Gifts to unrestricted funds made now through March 31, 2016 will leverage matching funds from Lilly Endowment.

F I E L D O F I N T E R E S T F U N D SPerhaps you have a particular interest in a specific area or need. It might be the arts, education or improved services such as health, recreation or fire protection. The Foundation board will award grants from your fund within the area you have set forth in your fund agreement.

A D V I S E D F U N D SYou may wish to have more involvement in the annual distributions from your fund. By choosing an advised fund, you may serve on or specify who will serve on your fund’s selection committee. Each year, you can recommend a different charitable grantee.

D E S I G N A T E D F U N D SIf you are devoted to one or more charitable organizations, you may wish to establish a designated fund, thereby assuring that your favorite charity or charities will receive annual grants from your endowed resources.

A G E N C Y E N D O W M E N T F U N D SAn agency may establish an agency endowment fund for its benefit. The agency’s supporters may contribute funds to ensure an uninterrupted and dependable source of revenue to carry out its work on a perpetual basis.

S C H O L A R S H I P F U N D SA scholarship fund will assist students with tuition and fees to pursue a post-secondary education. Unlike generic scholarships, a scholarship through the Community Foundation can be customized to incorporate the donor’s preferences for a particular field of study or a particular institution of higher education. Eligibility of applicants, application procedures and the amount and duration of scholarship support are designed to reflect the wishes of the donor.

S P E C I A L P R O J E C T F U N D SImmediacy is an element in the Foundation’s special projects funds. Perhaps a new project emerges, a need arises or a nonprofit group requests fundraising assistance from the Foundation. Rather than establish a permanent endowment, resources are generated to support these “special” short-term goals now.

Creating a Fund during Lilly GIFT VI Generally, to create a unique fund bearing the name and purpose you select, a gift of cash or assets valued at $5,000 or more needs to be placed with the Foundation. However, from now until March 31, 2016, Lilly Endowment Inc.’s GIFT VI $1-for-$1 matching opportunity makes it possible for you to establish a new unrestricted endowment fund for only $2,500.

You Choose the Way You Generate Your Legacy

Indiana boasts a greater number of community foundations than any other state, thanks in part to the forward-thinking effort launched in 1990 by Lilly Endowment Inc. The Endowment’s GIFT (Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow) initiative was created to strengthen and expand the growth of community foundations in the state.

In 1990, fewer than one dozen viable community foundations dotted the Indiana landscape, with combined assets of about $100 million. Today, 94 community foundations serve every Indiana county with combined assets exceeding $2.6 billion.

A $1 million endowment-building challenge grant from the first phase of the Endowment’s GIFT initiative in 1991 inspired the creation of the Wabash Valley Community Foundation. After five GIFT phases, our Community Foundation has been the beneficiary of more than $8.7 million in GIFT funds and has awarded more than $20 million in grants and scholarships benefitting residents of Clay, Sullivan and Vigo counties.

In 2014, for the first time in 10 years, Lilly Endowment announced a new GIFT initiative. From now until March 31, 2016, the Endowment will match, $1-for-$1, gifts made to the Clay, Sullivan or Vigo County Community Grant Funds or any other new or existing unrestricted endowment fund. Individuals taking advantage of this opportunity will double the impact of their gifts to their community through the Foundation’s unrestricted endowment funds.

Unrestricted endowment funds allow the Foundation to use the funds for an emerging or urgent charitable purpose or where there is the greatest need. These funds allow the Foundation to provide grants that focus on the quality of life with the assurance that donor contributions will target improvements where one works and lives for generations to come.

If you have a strong interest in your community and would like to create a fund for its benefit, we encourage you to consider creating an unrestricted fund. Your gift will be doubled through March 31, 2016, and any charitable agency within your community can apply for a grant from unrestricted funds to start new or innovative programs.

Details of the GIFT initiative vary by county. Anyone interested in learning more or taking advantage of this matching gift opportunity should contact the Community Foundation.

Generous People GENER ATE LEGACIES For Generations

“Leaving something to the kids” is the goal of most individuals. This has been referred to as the intergenerational transfer of wealth, and it creates a significant opportunity to impact our communities. Local organizations depend on the generosity and forethought of community-minded citizens to help them benefit our community. When wealth transfers from one generation to the next through wills and estates, dollars frequently leave the local area as the inheriting children live in other communities. Assets that previously generated charitable contributions to local programs and projects are no longer available for local philanthropic purposes. Over a decade ago, the Indiana Philanthropy Alliance commissioned the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship to study the transfer of wealth in Indiana. Due in part to the number of baby boomers approaching the time when they would be passing their wealth on to their children, the initial report projected a tremendous opportunity to capture a portion of this transfer for the benefit of our local communities in the coming decades. The study was updated in 2010 to determine the effect of the Great Recession on transfer of wealth. The updated study projected that for Clay, Sullivan

and Vigo counties, the 10-year transfer of wealth could amount to $1.75 billion that would transfer from one generation to the next. If just 5% of this projected transfer was given to create permanent endowments in the Community Foundation to benefit the local community, the grants from these endowments would exceed $3.5 million each and every year! With those funds, the community could:

•Enrichourchildren’seducationalopportunities;

•Assistresidentswiththeirbasicneedsforfood and shelter;

•Securethefutureofourartsandcultural organizations;

•Revitalizeourdowntownandhistoric landmarks;

•Provideemergencyfundsintheeventofa natural disaster or crisis; and,

•Somuchmore!

When finalizing your plans to “leave something to the kids,” consider including a bequest of 5% to benefit your community. Your legacy will impact your children and generations to come. Setting aside 5% of your estate in an endowment fund is a charitable investment that will enhance the quality of life and encourage sustainability in your community now and for generations to come.

Right now, if you earmark that money for an unrestricted endowment fund and finalize your donation by March 31, 2016, the impact of your gift will be doubled thanks to the matching opportunity currently available through the Lilly Endowment’s GIFT VI initiative.

Useful Will Planning Guide Available

Not surprisingly, 64% of adults don’t have a will, according to a recent Harris Poll online survey for Rocket Lawyer. Most of those, 57%, say they just haven’t gotten around to it.

For many, the thought of estate planning and drawing up a will is daunting, and is a task that we find easy to put off tackling.

The Community Foundation has made it easier for you to “get around to” setting up your will and estate plan with its guide, “Planning Your Will and Trust.”

The guide encourages you to think about how you want your assets to be distributed at death and assists you in gathering the essential information your attorney will need to prepare a will or trust to accomplish your goals.

Please take advantage of this free booklet, prepared for you by the Community Foundation, by calling 812.232.2234.

The hallmark of the Wabash Valley Community Foundation is that local citizens make decisions about local grants. Each county has its own individual review process and deadlines for granting available unrestricted funds. Foundation guidelines place a high priority on grant requests that prevent problems, are proactive and creative, respond to the changing needs of the community, encourage community cooperation and collaboration, leverage other funding sources and make a significant improvement to our communities.

Included in this section are grant awards made in Clay, Sullivan and Vigo counties in 2014. These grants – which honor our ancestors; make us mindful of our history; preserve and support the arts and culture; promote happier, healthier, safer children and families; contribute to community improvements and economic development and provide education for the leaders of the future – have impact on our communities today and in generations to come.

The Community Foundation’s grant process takes advantage of one of the greatest strengths of our three-county partnership –

the use of local volunteers todetermine the organizationsand agencies to be fundedwithin each county.

G R A N T S F O R Past Generations

“History…is the storyof us, had we beenborn a little earlier.” - Stephen Fry, “History Matters”

The world is changing rapidly and sometimes we lose touch with the importance of those generations that have gone before us. In the Wabash Valley, however, many individuals and organizations are keenly aware that an understanding of our history and a knowledge of our ancestors’ trials and triumphs can ground us and teach us much about ourselves.

Keeping the story of past generations alive and within our reach has been the goal of many projects funded by the Wabash Valley Community Foundation. Prime examples include

the effort to honor those who have served in past conflicts with the Vigo County Veterans Memorial Plaza, providing resources to study our ancestors at the Clay County Genealogical Society and the genealogy department at the Sullivan County Public Library, and preservation of past cultures, historic landmarks and cemeteries across the Wabash Valley.

In 2014, several grants made significant contributions to remembering the past and preserving it for future generations.

Works of art are as much a reflection of our past as are landmarks, monuments and genealogies. Last fall, the Swope Art Museum received a 1974 John Rogers Cox work, Scales Mound, from the Ijams family. The painting depicts a rural scene from an earlier era and features wheat fields and farm equipment in the foreground, the mound on the horizon and billowing clouds in the sky.

The artist is a Terre Haute native who gained recognition for his work in the 1940s and also as the Swope Art Museum’s first director. In his short tenure with the Swope, Cox acquired several works by contemporary American artists that remain at the core of the museum’s collection.

When museum staff assessed the painting’s condition, they decided it needed conservation, a very special technique used to restore paintings to their near-original state.

The museum applied for grant funding from the Wabash Valley Community Foundation to have conservator Linda Witkowski treat the painting. This included filling in small areas of paint loss and cleaning accumulated grime, dust, nicotine, grease and oil from the work’s surface. The $2,850 grant came from the Lavelda M. Goble Endowment Fund, the Andres Family Endowment Fund and the Walter & Katherine Bledsoe Family Endowment Fund.

The Swope’s Executive Director Marianne Richter explained that before and after photographs show a dramatic change in the treated paining, noting that “Cox’s vibrant use of color is shown to full, glorious effect after treatment.” The resulting stabilized and preserved work of the past can now be safely shared with generations to come.

Long before Europeans and other cultures arrived in the Wabash Valley, Miami Indians made their home on the land near the Wabash River. Today, Native Americans like those involved with the Sullivan County American Indian Council, Inc. (SCAIC), continue to honor their ancestors and educate their communities about their rich heritage. In 2012, archaeological research identified an Indian mound site in Fairbanks Township, Sullivan County, dating back at least 1,000 years. SCAIC reached an agreement with the landowners, Indiana Michigan Power Company/AEP, to serve as keepers of the two Woodland Era mounds. Council president Susan Petoskey said council members developed the cultural park on the site, Waapaahsiki Siipiiwi Mound Historical Park (the Miami linguistic spelling for Wabash River), so they can continue to share their heritage with others. SCAIC members volunteer to maintain the park and provide educational opportunities for visitors. They have created a heritage garden to restore indigenous plant species, thus enhancing the park’s educational value. At seasonal gatherings, the group uses the garden’s wild sage and sweet grass in ceremonies to honor their ancestors. They have hosted garden clubs and church groups, and they often receive plant cuttings from neighbors to add to the garden. A $500 Sullivan County Community Foundation grant from the Harold and Malinda Medsker Endowment Fund helped with the start-up of the heritage garden, which will also benefit from a matching private donation.

Terre Haute native Paul Dresser is one of the most important American composers of the 1890s, and the author of Indiana’s State Song, “On the Banks of the Wabash.” The Vigo County Historical Society acquired Paul Dresser’s boyhood home in 1963 and later moved it to its present location in Fairbanks Park. This example of a working-class home of the 1850s plays an important role in the cultural experience of the citizens of Vigo County. Visitors and Vigo County students tour the home, and it is used for special events.

Last year’s especially harsh winter took its toll on the house, and repairs were needed to restore the building for events and visitors. “We’ve been entrusted with this piece of our history,” said the Society’s executive director Marylee Hagan. “We need to keep it in good repair so that people can learn about the birthplace of the man who composed our State Song.”

The needed repairs were made thanks to a $10,000 Community Foundation grant from the Hulman George Family Endowment Fund. These included exterior trim, porch supports, shutters, siding, gutter installation and mortar re-pointing, as well as plaster to repair a damaged interior wall.

Repairs to the Dresser House included new porch supports and shutters and new plaster and paint to restore a damaged interior wall.

Plantings in the Waapaahsiki Siipiiwi Mound Historical Park heritage garden help members of the Sullivan County American Indian Council honor their ancestors and share their heritage.

In the Wabash Valley, where more than half the population is either overweight or obese, and nearly a third reports being inactive, adults and children face the likelihood of developing chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and hypertension. These problems are exacerbated by the reality that a quarter of people in Vigo County live in poverty.

Understanding that poor nutrition and physical inactivity are habits that can be improved through education and motivation, local health leaders and organizations including United

Way of the Wabash Valley, the YMCA, Vigo County School Corporation, Vigo County Purdue Extension and our local institutions of higher education are focused on combating this serious threat through community-wide programs.

A number of Community Foundation grants in 2014 were directed toward helping adults and children develop better health habits and improve their overall health for a future of healthier generations.

Faculty and students in Indiana State University’s Department of Applied Health Sciences are committed to promoting healthy habits in the community. Under the direction of Assistant Professor Darleesa Doss, they planned and implemented the Women on the Move to Healthy Eating event. The goal of the program, which was supported by several community partners, was to improve the health of two at-risk groups – low-income women and children – through nutrition and physical activity education, as well as hands-on experience in meal preparation and exercise. The event also provided Allied Health students with important experiential learning opportunities. Participants at the November and December event sessions, held at Booker T. Washington Community Center, learned where to purchase healthy foods and how to cook healthy, low-cost, easy dishes; took home a cookbook with information on preparing those meals and snacks; and even received pedometers and health tips on ways to increase their level of activity. Applied Health Sciences students helped prepare the materials and present the demonstrations. Doss said, “Our participants showed an interest in future programs that focus on improving and increasing healthy behaviors.” The program was supported by a $1,500 Community Foundation grant from the Landsbaum Endowment Fund and the Wabash Valley Asphalt Endowment Fund.

The Maple Center, Inc., a nonprofit integrative health center, provides health education and clinical services to the Wabash Valley. Among its many services, is the Wabash Valley LEAF (Lifestyle Education and Food) Program, an affordable eight-week lifestyle-changing course offered twice a year.

Childhood obesity is evident in the Wabash Valley and was identified as one of the three top health-related problems in the community. To address this issue, The Maple Center developed The Youth Healthy Lifestyle & Weight Program, or Youth LEAF, for children ages 8 through 12. Activities include healthy lifestyle and eating habits, stress control and fun ways to exercise. Supporting the program are UAP Clinic, Indiana State University, Union Hospital Center for Fitness and Performance, WICAA, CASY, Purdue

Extension, Vigo County Health Department and Vigo County School Corporation. To make it possible for children in need to attend the Youth LEAF program, a $3,000 Community Foundation grant from the PMC Fund, the Gary W. and Judy A. Schomer Family Endowment Fund and the Dr. Paul and Nadine Humphrey Charitable Fund provides scholarships to cover the $65-per-youth cost.

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) launched the Pomeroy Wellness Program for Vigo County to help improve the health of area residents and expand the use of its new Jeanne Knoerle Sports and Recreation Center. This initiative is made possible through the support of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation and the Wabash Valley Community Foundation. Except for activities in the local schools, the western Vigo County area where the College is located offers fewer health and wellness activities than other areas of the county. Pomeroy Wellness focuses on healthy lifestyle changes that residents can practice throughout their lives and offers classes like yoga, Pilates and total body cardio, taught by instructors from the YMCA, as well as healthy recipes, stress management tips and more. The success of the program depended on the participation of residents in the area, so getting the word out was critical. A $10,000 Community Foundation grant from Lilly Endowment Fund supported a comprehensive campaign to market the program. The program’s kick-off drew more than 100 people who came out to register, despite below-zero temperatures. Coordinator Jenn Kersey said, “The turnout speaks volumes about western Vigo County’s overall commitment and desire to live a healthy lifestyle.”

“It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.” - Christine Gregoire

The Wabash Valley is well-known for its generosity. Whether on an individual basis or as part of a group, people here are never hesitant about donating their time, talent and dollars when there is a need.

This kind of generosity builds community. Our donors establish legacies that make possible the awarding of grants in Clay, Sullivan and Vigo counties, many of which are focused on building a better future for the generations that will follow us.

Examples include planting trees in Brazil’s Forest Park; beautification efforts in towns like Sullivan and Carlisle; presenting dictionaries to Wabash Valley third graders; building young leaders through Terre Haute’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day program; mentoring youth in Sullivan County; stocking the emergency food pantry in Clay County and buying equipment for the new Ivy Tech Community College Vet Tech program. All these grants and dozens more in 2014 will have the long-range effect of improving opportunities for future generations.

Lions clubs throughout Vigo County have embarked on a Reading Action Program designed to increase literacy rates by promoting reading for preschoolers and their families.

Best known internationally for their work in fighting blindness, Vigo County’s Lions clubs – the New Goshen-West Vigo, Prairie Creek, Pierson Township, Riley Township, Terre Haute, Downtown Terre Haute and Terre Haute Evening Lions – have been instrumental in making sure children receive essential vision screenings.

Five years ago, with grant assistance from the Wabash County Community Foundation, the clubs provided equipment to assist the Vigo County School Corporation in meeting State of Indiana vision screening requirements. They also purchased advanced vision-screening equipment for use in daycares and preschools. Such equipment can detect several vision problems common in small children, including a condition that may lead to amblyopia (lazy eye), which can be reversed if caught and treated early enough.

Raymond Collins of the Riley Lions Club, who heads up the effort to vision screen the county’s preschoolers, said the clubs’ goal is to screen every one of the more than 6,300 preschool-aged children in Vigo County. “More than 20 Lions Club member volunteers have been trained to do vision screening,” he said. “Even though there are more than 100 daycares and preschools, we’re making progress every year as we’re able to screen more sites.”

Now, Lions International’s Reading Action Program also gives local volunteers the opportunity to provide each one of those vision-screened preschoolers an age-appropriate book to take home, promoting the importance of parents and children reading together. Books will be provided with the support of a $3,600 Community Foundation grant from the Steve Harris Memorial Endowment Fund, the Delmar L. and Betty L. Jones Family Fund and the Gershon H. and Janice Loeser Endowment Fund.

Clay County’s Cultivating Responsible Adults by Developing Education, Leadership, and Self-Sufficiency (CRADLES) is a community-based collaboration whose mission is to help student-parents take their place in local communities as self-sufficient citizens within healthy family units.

With nearly one-quarter of the county’s children living in poverty, it is the CRADLES’ philosophy that only by educating parents and working in support of families can the cycle of poverty be broken.

CRADLES of Clay County provides developmentally appropriate childcare while parents improve their education by finishing high school, preparing for the GED and going on to further their education. It also helps improve parenting and life skills.

With paid staff and volunteers, and supported by 20 partnering agencies, this family learning ministry has the potential to serve 36 children and 30 parents at two locations – the Children’s Pavilion at the Wabash Camp and Retreat Center in Clay City and the First Baptist Church in Brazil.

CRADLES program director Mary Yelton said, “We hope that by giving student-parents this opportunity to learn, grow and become contributing citizens who will in turn support their children throughout their K-12 education, CRADLES will change lives and impact future generations.”

A $5,000 Clay County Community Foundation grant from the Anna Ferrell Endowment Fund, the Lilly Endowment Fund for Clay County and the Richard and Hilda Zimmerman Endowment Fund will provide for childcare services through the program.

Support from the American Red Cross can be key when citizens and communities are recovering from disasters such as the area’s severe flooding in 2008.

The Wabash Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross serves eight counties in Indiana, including Sullivan County. In 2013, 25 individuals in Sullivan County received assistance after losing their homes in a disaster. Knowing well that being prepared for a disaster is much less expensive than responding to one, the Red Cross is committed to increasing Sullivan County’s disaster preparedness and ability to bounce back with its Delivering Hope program.

The program will recruit and train at least 20 new volunteers to provide a shelter to be set up in a disaster where multiple families are affected. It will also partner with schools, churches, civic groups and government agencies to increase the amount of disaster preparedness and fire prevention education available in the county, and it will reach at least 10 businesses with disaster preparedness assessment and information. Businesses that are able to survive a disaster and recover quickly without closing for a long period assure their workers of continued employment and the community of economic stability.

The Sullivan County Community Foundation provided a $3,000 grant from the Lois A. Andrews Foundation Fund for Sullivan County, the Guy and Wilma Edds Charitable Endowment Fund and the Harold and Melinda Medsker Endowment Fund for disaster response, volunteer recruitment, retention and training supplies and program materials.

African Drumming

Indiana State University’s Community School of the Arts (CSA) is the only comprehensive educational outreach of its kind in Indiana and one of very few in the country. Through the CSA, students of all ages, backgrounds and ability levels can experience year-round professional and affordable instruction in the performing and fine arts. The CSA’s African Drumming Program reaches out to Terre Haute’s only Title I middle school, Sarah Scott, with a 30-week afterschool music program. In middle school, music and the other arts become electives, and not many students who want to take these types of classes can afford private instruction, so this introduction to percussion may be the only opportunity this predominantly underserved population has to take music classes. “The impact of this program goes beyond the students’ enjoyment and appreciation of music,” said CSA director Petra Nyendick. “It also provides creative and critical problem-solving skills, strengthened concentration and improved memory skills that have been shown to help students improve scholastically.” A $2,875 Community Foundation grant from the Donald O. Springman Endowment Fund, the White Family Endowment Fund and the Thelma Maxine Dever Memorial Fund purchased African drums for the program.

Healthy Families

For more than 40 years, Hamilton Center Inc. (HCI) has been the area’s leading behavioral health organization. Its Healthy Families Program, serving Greene, Sullivan, Vermillion and Vigo counties, strives to prevent child abuse and promote the importance of early learning for all children. Now in its 20th year, the program has served more than 4,000 children and their parents. Healthy Families’ intervention begins as soon as a child is born, with home- and center-based activities that provide resources, programming and role models to help parents embrace their role as their child’s first teacher. Most current evaluation results show that the state rate of child abuse and neglect for the general population is more than double that of Healthy Families participant families. In support of home visits, Healthy Families provides materials such as community resource information; safety notebooks and printed materials on child abuse, well-baby care, child safety, positive discipline and more. Handouts also include DVDs, developmental assessments and screening tools. A gift card is used as an incentive to encourage interest and participation. Recent funding cuts have caused HCI to seek additional sources of revenue for Healthy Families. A $4,000 Foundation grant from the James R. Piker, Ada A. Piker and Virginia M. Ginter Memorial Fund provided materials for home visits and incentive gift cards for families.

A Hamilton Center representative shares safe-sleep and other baby care information with a mother during a Healthy Families session.

Clay City Signage

Hometown values are all-important in the southern Clay County community of Clay City, described by a visitor as “a throwback to the days when people waved to friends, knew neighbors on a first-name basis and took time to enjoy visitors.”

Since 1999, Clay City USA Foundation has been working for the betterment of the town, converting an old downtown gas station into a welcome center, supporting creation of a community library and sponsoring community events. Wishing to have people identify Clay City with the family values portrayed on the 1960s television show, “The Andy Griffith Show,” which took place in fictional Mayberry, North Carolina, the group nicknamed its town “Mayberry of the Midwest.” For years, travelers entering town from every direction have been greeted with signs welcoming them to “Mayberry of the Midwest.” The signs had fallen into disrepair and needed restoration, which include painting, metal work and minor fabrication, to give visitors a better first impression of the town. Clay City USA went to the Clay County Community Foundation for grant assistance to cover the cost, which was provided by a $5,050 grant from the Clay City Lions Community Fund, the Clay County Community Grant Fund, the Lilly Endowment Board Designated Fund for Clay County and the John E. and Karen Mercer Family Endowment Fund.

One of the refurbished “Mayberry of the Midwest” signs is stored at the sign shop awaiting good weather to be reinstalled at the entrance to Clay City.

Stories Alongthe Wabash

Certainly the 2013 “Year of the River” celebration gave us all an awareness of the rich heritage of the Wabash River and our ancestors’ strong ties to and deep dependence on the State River of Indiana. As Board President Fred Nation put it, the Wabash is, “in many ways…why we are here.” This year, WTIU Public Television came to the Wabash Valley Community Foundation with a request to support the production of Along the Wabash: The State River of Indiana in Seven Vignettes. The one-hour special will illustrate major events in history with ties to the Wabash and stories of everyday people whose lives and livelihoods depended on the river. Producer Suzanne Schwibs made several visits to the Wabash Valley to research aspects of the river’s influence here, including late 19th century pearl fishing and manufacture of pearl buttons. Set to air in March 2016, the state’s bicentennial year, the program will connect viewers with past generations and highlight the importance of the Wabash River as a setting for events that shaped Indiana and, ultimately, our lives today. Supporting the production of Along the Wabash is a $6,000 Foundation grant from the Henry & Geraldine Adelman Memorial Fund and the Salo & Mary Levite Endowment Fund.

Wabash ValleyHealth Center

Wabash Valley Health Center, formerly known as St. Ann’s Clinic, has served the Wabash Valley since 1997, providing a range of medical services for all persons, regardless of their ability to pay. With the clinic’s 2013 designation as a Federally Qualified Health Center, a CEO, full-time medical director and additional staff were hired. Renovation and expansion of facilities was necessary to accommodate new staff members and treatment space for the anticipated 3,000 additional visits the first year. The expansion included five exam rooms and office space. Implementation of an electronic medical records system necessitated more computers, scanners and printers. As a result of the expansion, the phone and communications system had to be upgraded, and additional furnishings and clinical equipment was required. The clinic turned to the Wabash Valley Community Foundation for assistance to purchase additional clinical equipment. A $15,000 grant from the James R. Piker, Ada A. Piker and Virginia M. Ginter Memorial Fund, the Community Chest of Terre Haute Fund and the Lavelda M. Goble Endowment Fund enabled the clinic to acquire the needed equipment for medical care to support the expansion.

Wabash Valley Health Center nurse Jennifer Long reads a patient’s blood pressure using the equipment panel provided by a Community Foundation grant. The exam bed was also grant-funded.

Donor Honors Wife with Scholarships

Leon and Nancy Shake Huff were married in June of 1960, and just 13 years later, Nancy passed away. Having lost his wife at such an early stage in their marriage, Leon chose to honor her when he was considering decisions about his estate. Leon followed his father’s lead in the carpentry trade and was a member of Carpenters Local Union 133. He enjoyed life in general, especially outdoor activities and sports, and was a longtime Indiana State University season ticket holder.

Nancy earned an elementary education degree from ISU, where she was an active member of Sigma Kappa Sorority. After graduation, she taught at Collett Park and Dixie Bee elementary schools, among others.

Knowing how much Nancy’s sorority experience meant to her, Leon established the Leon D. & Nancy Shake Huff Sigma Kappa Scholarship Fund to benefit a Sigma Kappa member at ISU with financial need and outstanding involvement with the sorority. After Leon’s passing in 2013, the Leon D. and Nancy Shake Huff Scholarship Fund was established from a bequest in his estate to benefit a Sullivan High School graduate planning to study elementary education at ISU.

Thanks to Leon Huff’s decision to honor his wife and her love of education, he was able to create a lasting legacy that will benefit Sullivan County students forever.
