Throwback Thursday to the Gift of Grain Chili Day in 2018!
Each year in the fall at the Malden Grain Elevator, farmers are treated to a homemade chili lunch and sweet treats (provided by some awesome community members). It's a day to celebrate the Gift of Grain Program!
Upon delivering grain to the elevator, farmers have the opportunity to designate a portion of the load to the Porter County Community Foundation. The Foundation then sells the grain and deposits the proceeds into the Agricultural Community Initiative Fund. Grants are then made from this fund, supporting agriculture educational programs in Porter County.

Throwback Thursday posts are brought to you by our 25th Anniversary Partners: Hodges and Davis, P.C., Indiana Beverage, Mason Investment Advisory Services, and UFS Corporation.

The Foundation recently visited St. Agnes Adult Day Service Center to award a Community Fund grant! If you aren't familiar with what this organization does, they provide a place for adults to go during the day, who are not able to stay at home by themselves. Established in 1997, this nonprofit has been serving individuals and helping families in our community for decades. #PCCF25Years #JourneyWithGenerosity

On this throwback Thursday, we are looking back at the Girls' Giving Fund kick-off celebration event in 2018! This giving circle's mission is to empower young women in Porter County to realize they all have the power to do good and make our community a better place.
The goal each year, is for young women to raise $100 or more (while encouraging their friends to do the same). The money raised will support the Girls' Giving Fund at the Foundation, which is to be given away annually in grants that support nonprofits in Porter County.
The Girls' Giving Fund is on a break as we try to do our part keeping everyone safe during the pandemic, but for more information on this giving circle you can check out our website www.pccf.gives/girlsgivingfund

"When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind".
In 2018, the Foundation hosted a special movie-in-the-park night featuring "Wonder" with special guest speaker Dr. Goodman.
Dr. Goodman is a graduate of Valparaiso High School. After completing his undergrad in Iowa, he went on to medical school in Indianapolis. He is now a pediatrician with Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health. Like Auggie from the movie, Dr. Goodman was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome. After overcoming many similar challenges in his own life, Dr. Goodman learned a hard lesson…YOU CAN’T BLEND IN WHEN YOU WERE BORN TO STAND OUT.

On today's Throwback Thursday, we are going all the way back to 1998. Tess Krueger received one of the very first Lilly Endowment Community Scholarships from the Foundation. Tess went on to medical school and graduated in 2006. Here's what she had to say when we caught up with her "I was excited and honored [to receive the Lilly Scholarship in 1998]. I knew there were a lot of good candidates. It helped me tremendously."
Lilly Endowment Inc. has provided scholarships that provide full tuition and fees to any college or university in the state of Indiana including $900 each year for books since 1998. For more info on scholarships, please visit our website https://www.pccf.gives/students.

Girls' Giving Fund Launch 2020
We’re kicking off the 3rd year of the Girls’ Giving Fund! Last year the 28 members of the Girls’ Giving Fund raised over $3,000 to give away. They became young entrepreneurs and incubators of ideas that turned into action for the good of the community. These young women put their all into being able to give back! This year, the need will be even greater. We’re hoping to encourage more young women that they can help make a difference and be part of the solution. Here are some different ways the girls raised funds in 2019. What will the girls come up with this year? :) We can't wait to see! If you or someone you know is interested in joining the Girls' Giving Fund, visit our website for next steps https://www.pccf.gives/girlsgivingfund.

Love the Tuba Tuesdays! Thanks for bringing some sunshine and laughs to us each week during this challenging time. "Dancing Queen" was a riot, and I've shared it with a lot of friends. Way to go, Bill!
Thanks for helping us set up the Beth Herren Friends Fur Life Fund via PCCF. It's been such a hard time after the loss of our loved one, and setting up an endowment meant so much to us and your team (thank you Bonny) made it so easy.
THANK YOU!!!!! two small words to reflect gigantic gratitude to all who make giving a receivable award. WE live in a VERY philanthropic place...
