“ Life is…a sort of splendid torch which I’ve got a hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” - George Bernard Shaw

The Community Foundation torch is fueled by the generous people among us. Here in the Wabash Valley, we are truly fortunate that there are so many generous individuals, organizations and businesses whose concern for the community generates the flame of giving. We are fortunate, too, that through the Community Foundation, that flame grows and intensifies, lighting the way to improve quality of life for today’s and future generations.

MISSION The mission of the Wabash Valley Community Foundation is to engage people, build resources and strengthen community in the Wabash Valley.

VISION The Wabash Valley Community Foundation will be the primary steward of endowed funds and a leader that encourages broad-based charitable activity in the Wabash Valley. 2 Wabash Valley Community Foundation ANNUAL REPORT 2014 4 5 Contents GENEROUS 2014 Donors PEOPLE
