Washington County Community Foundation

The Washington County Community Foundation is a direct result of the GIFT (Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow) Initiative of The Lilly Endowment, Inc. In the early 1990's The Endowment issued a challenge to Indiana communities to establish their own community foundation, thus enabling each community to guide the creation of a charitable organization that would serve the needs of the community for generations to come.

Our Foundation was incorporated on May 13, 1993, after many months of meetings and much hard work by several individuals. Although the faces of the leadership of the Washington County Community Foundation have changed over time, as is always the case with any healthy, thriving organization, the core values and mission remain the same. We continue to work diligently to assist our donors in creating a legacy that is meaningful to them. All of our success is directly related to the generosity of the sons and daughters of Washington County. We will continue to help our donors to give back to our community through our Foundation and improve the quality of life in our county.
