Starke County
Welcome to
the Starke County Community Foundation
Starke County is a wonderful rural county comprised of small towns where
everyone knows each other; and can always depend on neighbors and friends
in a pinch. It has a wonderful heritage and a diverse cultural background
that adds to its charm.
Since 1996, Starke 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.
Starke 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 Starke County donations can do more—right here in Starke County.
So far, Starke County Community Foundation has dispersed over 2 million dollars in grants and scholarships. Currently the Community Foundation holds nearly $3 million in assets and administers 64 funds.
