(LAGRANGE) – The LaGrange County Community Foundation has received a $100,00 grant.

The money is part of the seventh phase of Lilly Endowment Inc.'s Giving Indiana Funds For Tomorrow or GIFT VII community foundation initiative.

As part of this grant opportunity, each community foundation that achieved 100 percent board member giving during the period of January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, was eligible to receive an unrestricted grant of $100,000 per county served. This grant is in recognition of the important role that the LaGrange County Community Foundation's Board of Directors plays in both leading the Foundation and serving communities across LaGrange County.

This unrestricted grant will help fund a portion of the LaGrange County Community Foundation's new headquarters, which will include an 800 square foot community room. The room will be available for nonprofit use. The facility is set to open in late February 2021.

Octavia Yoder, Executive Director of the LaGrange County Community Foundation, says they are grateful for the Lilly Endowment’s continued support. She says this addition will be an asset to the community.
