Our mission is to improve the quality of life in our communities by assisting donors in fulfilling their charitable wishes forever. By supporting the Northern Indiana Community Foundation, you touch so many areas of need right here in our local community. And you don’t only help now, but you make an impact that will last forever.
“It’s great that you can support where you live in so many different ways through the Foundation. It’s important to build strong communities because it’s true that it takes a whole community to help raise a family.”

In Miami County, the Sharon Edwards Memorial Community Fund was created to honor the giving nature of Sharon Edwards, a lifelong Peru community supporter. She was an active participant in community functions and believed in giving back to the community in multiple avenues. The fund that was created in memory of Sharon is a Community Fund, so it supports community projects like HC Park.
HC Park recently has been opened to the public. It’s been a community effort to create this safe space for children with disabilities and special needs and their families. We love to see community projects completed and the impact they have on the community. HC Park was granted a $10,000 Impact Grant. This grant was made possible because of Community Funds like the Sharon Edwards Memorial Community Fund!
Thanks to our planning grant from Lilly Endownment Inc, we were able to take two groups from Fulton and Miami County to the Clearinghouse in Madison, IN. The Clearinghouse is a centralized location for multiple community services. We are putting in the research to see if our communities could benefit from something like the Clearinghouse. Great time with some great conversation!
Miami County Director of Development, Connie Cutler attended the Senior Expo yesterday. It was a great event that allowed her to talk with some fund founders about the Lilly Endowment Inc. $2 for $1 Match for Community Funds. Just getting out there to see the folks of Miami County made the day wonderful. We love Miami County!
