Over the past sixty-three years the Foundation has served in that role and has built relationships with donors who have established 319 endowments that are meant to last for perpetuity. Those generous donors and the Foundation have partnered to invest in the future of the Jay County community. Because of those donors the Foundation has been able to grant more than $13.8 million to not-for-profit organizations and individuals pursuing higher education degrees. The $13 million investment in the community has paid dividends in a big way! Countless organizations and individuals have benefitted because of the desire of donors to improve the quality of life here in Jay County. As always, from our board and staff to you…thank you for trusting us with carrying out your philanthropic legacy. With Gratitude, Dean Jetter Douglas L. Inman President, Board of Trustees Executive Director Investing in the Community 1 PorPortland,rtland,d,, Indianadianaa LEGEND:L a. Admissions/ConcessionsAdmissions/ConcessionsConcessionss c. b. b.
