Sullivan County and the Wabash Valley Community Foundation are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Sullivan County Community Foundation. To date, the Sullivan County Community Foundation has given more than $1.7 million in grants and scholarships to assist communities and organizations in Sullivan County.

In 1998 a group of Sullivan County residents created the Sullivan County Community Foundation as an affiliate of the Wabash Valley Community Foundation, establishing a board of directors made up of community volunteers. The Foundation applied for matching funds through Lilly Endowment Inc.’s GIFT Phase IV to go toward endowment building and direct community grants.

Early in the process, the board surveyed community needs through the newspaper and at the county’s Ag Day Breakfast. Results of the survey, showing needs in the areas of seniors, youth activities and educational activities outside the school system for all ages, served as a guide for using the GIFT Phase IV funds.

In that first year, five grants totaling $335,000 were handed out for railroad crossing improvements, expanding a community building and a senior center, constructing two Habitat homes and building tennis courts. According to the first Sullivan County Community Foundation board president Howard Unger, most of the funds went toward building the Foundation’s endowment for the long term.

The Foundation has done just that, growing its endowment to $4.5 million. It has received more than 1,550 separate gifts, and its donors have established 78 endowment funds.

One of the Sullivan County Community Foundation’s largest funds was established in 2000 by James F. Jackson who donated farm real estate in Kentucky to create a scholarship for students pursuing “scientific or mathematical educational attainment.”

Through the efforts of the Sullivan County Community Foundation, the county has been able to benefit from $5.8

million in Community Alliance to Promote Education (CAPE) fund grants offered by Lilly Endowment Inc. to improve literacy. Focused on establishing a technological foundation for learning, Sullivan County’s CAPE grants have funded a fiber optic network to connect the county schools and main library, the creation of a Community Learning Center, and training in technology for all of the county’s teachers, among other programs. Indiana State University and the Wabash Valley Community Foundation work together to assist Sullivan County in implementing this grant.

Designated Funds Help Sustain and Grow the Work of Nonprofit Organizations

Through the Wabash Valley Community Foundation, you can establish or contribute to a designated fund to support one or more charitable organizations in which you have a deep, personal interest. Designated funds are endowments offering the assurance that a favorite charity will receive financial support for upkeep and daily operations year after year. If the organization you select ceases to exist or changes its mission, the fund can be redirected so that it continues to address your charitable intent.

Approximately 80 organizations have received Community Foundation designated grants totaling $262,675.35 in the last year. (See listing below.)

A designated fund assures that a gift to your chosen organization continues even after your death. While you may give an annual gift of, say, $100 to an organization, through your will you can provide

for an annual gift that is 20 times that. Your chosen agency is made stronger, because perpetual support allows it to concentrate on new growth rather than on finding ways to replace contributions lost when a supporter passes away.

Nonprofits establish endowments

Many nonprofit organizations have established their own designated funds or agency endowments in the Wabash Valley Community Foundation. This ensures their donors that the endowed fund’s principal will not be spent and can grow over time, providing a source of lasting support. The Community Foundation’s economies of scale provide organizations the benefits of a diverse investment portfolio and low investment fees that typically come only with very large funds. An organization’s regular donors can leave a bequest through the Community Foundation to benefit the organization forever.

Kathy Davis is Community Foundation’s new Administrative Assistant

Kathy Davis has assumed the duties of Administrative Assistant for the Wabash Valley Community Foundation.

A graduate of Indiana Business College, Kathy was previously employed at the Vigo County Prosecutor’s Office as a legal secretary where she did payroll, billing, budgeting and accounts, among many other duties. She has also held management positions.

Kathy greets callers and visitors to the Community Foundation, schedules and prepares materials for meetings, enters gift information into the database and prepares letters and donor acknowledgements.

“When it comes to improving the community, I will do what it takes to help pull together to get the job done,” Kathy said. “We live in Riley and our children attend Riley Elementary, so being a local resident of the Wabash Valley, I was very pleased to come towork for the Wabash Valley Community Foundation where I can help the community grow and improve.”

Foundation names Ashley Delaunois new Affiliate Director

Ashley R. Delaunois has been named the Wabash Valley Community Foundation’s Affiliate Director for Clay and Sullivan counties. She will work with volunteers, organizations and donors in Clay and Sullivan counties.

A graduate of Indiana State University with a degree in Public Relations, Ashley worked for four years in marketing and management for Texas Roadhouse. Most recently she was Director of Membership Development for the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce.

For the Chamber, Ashley coordinated numerous networking events, developed and implemented membership campaigns and managed all Chamber volunteers. In the community, Ashley served as a board member of the Terre Haute Family Y and staff liaison for Terre Haute Young Leaders and has been active as a co-chair for fundraising events for both groups.

Ashley is excited to begin working with the Clay and Sullivan boards as they assist Wabash Valley communities, organizations and individuals.

Welcome Two New Staff Members

All of us at the Community Foundation want to wish the best to three staff members who have recently left us.

Carolyn Monaghan had served as our administrative assistant since 2000. She was a fabulous detail person, which was a great benefit as she worked with the Community Foundation’s many events. Also, Carolyn is a great people person, making everyone she comes in contact with feel special. She is retiring to spend more time with her family, but continues as a volunteer with the Foundation’s 2008 Golf Tournament.

Kay Aubin has been an affiliate director for the Community Foundation since December, 2003. Her first two years were spent with the Clay County Community Foundation, and she

ended her work as the Sullivan County Community Foundation affiliate director. She worked hard with both boards to create many new funds and was dedicated to helping her volunteers become as knowledgeable about community foundations as they could be. Kay will be enjoying time with her grandchildren and the winter warmth of her part-time residence in Florida.

Jane Davison has left her Foundation position as assistant to the executive director, where she had worked since Summer 2007. She brought great attention to detail in her work on the Foundation’s most significant projects. Although Jane’s time at the Community Foundation was short, she brought a great sense of humor, a wonderful outlook and great organizational skills to the Foundation.

Saying Goodbye!
