Welcome to the Fulton County Community Foundation
Fulton County is a wonderful agricultural community. Its population is one of hardworking people who are eager to make their community the best in the state. 

Since 1993, Fulton County Community Foundation has brought caring people and charitable endeavors together for the good of this great community. The Community Foundation gives donors flexible and tax-effective ways to ensure their charitable giving. We work to build substantial endowment funds for our community through contributions large and small.

Fulton County Community Foundation is proud to be a part of the Northern Indiana Community Foundation (NICF). The NICF allows us to maximize our investment benefits and be more cost efficient. This way Fulton County donations can do more—right here in Fulton County.

So far, Fulton County Community Foundation has dispersed nearly 4 million dollars in grants and scholarships. Currently the Community Foundation holds over $8 million in assets and administers 110 funds.

Give Your Heart to Your Community

Valentines Day Event

Musician Richard Briggs helps deliver a singing valentine to Marilyn Fritts

Every year a number of Fulton County residents receive a special Valentines Day gift.  For the twelfth year, the Fulton County Community Foundation and WROI Radio encouraged people to “Give Their Heart to the Community”.  The event provides an opportunity to make an impact in the community while sending that special someone a gift they won’t soon forget. 

Donors make a gift to a fund of their choice and in return they send gifts ranging from a song dedication on WROI Radio to a personally delivered singing telegram and long stem rose.  For the first time in event history, over $10,000 was raised for various funds within the Community Foundation. 

During this year’s event, groups of singers and musicians delivered 58 telegrams throughout the county.  In addition to the groups, Rochester musician and song writer Brent Evans was joined by Brenda Fox in delivering six special valentines requests to individuals and groups.  “Brent’s song Unexpected Angels is always one of the most requested radio dedications during the event,” said Community Foundation Director of Development Brian Johnson. “Brent was gracious enough to help with the event this year, giving individuals the opportunity to hear Unexpected Angels or other requests live. His participation contributed immensely to us reaching our $10,000 goal.”    

In conjunction with the singing telegrams, WROI Radio provided air time to send out Valentines dedications.  Once again guest DJ Don Groenleer joined Tom Bair as they played dedications, shared Valentines Day thoughts and various witty quips. 

“The wonderful part about the event is the fact that people are not only able to sent a special Valentines Day gift, they are also making a gift that will continue to impact our community for years to come,” said Johnson.  “All of the gifts received will be used to support causes the donor cares about.” 

We would like to thank everyone who had a hand in making the event a success including; the singers and musicians, Tom & Sue Bair and all the staff at WROI Radio, Don Groenleer, Brent Evans and Brenda Fox,  and most importantly, all the donors who made this wonderful event possible.
