Let's Talk

As we entered 2021, we knew that the challenges of 2020 weren’t entirely behind us. Across our community, the pandemic affected health, homes, jobs, and lifestyles. These challenges didn’t push our community apart. Instead, they provided opportunities for neighbors to help neighbors.

At The Community Foundation, we are fortunate to see a broad view of the community. We saw organizations share information and resources to ensure that community members had what they needed during this still tumultuous year. As The Community Foundation, we used our resources to support and enhance these opportunities.

In this issue of Legacy, we share the importance of unrestricted funds in ensuring that the Foundation can respond to the community’s needs as they arise. Through the story of ecoREHAB, we show how grant funding helped strengthen the organization, so its staff and board could develop a program that improved the lives of eight individuals in our community and more to come in the future.

As we approach the end of the year, we invite you to create more opportunities for Muncie and Delaware County. Thank you for your commitment to The Community Foundation today, tomorrow, and always.

Kelly K. Shrock, President
