Heritage Fund Launches 2019 Love Where You Live Campaign to grow assets of its Community Fund and increase grant-making capacity. The Love Where You Live campaign features a new design by local artist, Laura Latham. Laura, daughter of Kami Adams and Joshua Latham, is a Columbus native and is currently a sophomore at Columbus North High School. Community members who make a donation to the campaign can stop by the Heritage Fund office at 538 Franklin Street to receive a T-shirt, tote bag, and/or poster featuring the exclusive design. Limited quantities are available.
Donations can be made in person at the Heritage Fund office, 538 Franklin St, by mail to PO Box 1547, Columbus, IN 47202, or online. Thanks to the Lilly Endowment, donations to the fund will be matched $2 for every $1 donated – tripling the impact to the Community Fund (while matching funds remain).
AEI Youth Sports Fund
AEI is partnering with Heritage Fund to provide financial assistance for Bartholomew County youth to participate in athletic and fitness programs.
Kids’ sport can be expensive and participation can be prohibitive for those with financial need. Through this fund, AEI hopes to provide additional access to athletic and fitness activities to youth with financial barriers to participation.
Heritage Fund Cancels December 1, 2019 Grant Cycle
Due to the large number of broad community impact grant applications from local nonprofits in 2019, Heritage Fund is canceling its December 1, 2019 Community Fund grant cycle.
Heritage Fund will still distribute over $600,000 in unrestricted grants to local organizations in 2020 that meet long term and future needs in Bartholomew County. Heritage Fund’s 2020 grant application schedule will be available to local organizations starting in January.
