UNRESTRICTED FUNDS Unrestricted funds allow for the greatest flexibility when donating charitable gifts. These types of funds give local communities the opportunity to assess their greatest needs and assist the community’s individual programs.
AGENCY FUNDS Agency funds are for any nonprofit organization or agency that wishes to establish endowment funds with the Foundation for management and investment purposes. The Community Foundation regularly distributes the annual income back to the organizations and agencies for operating their programs.
FIELD OF INTEREST FUNDS Field of interest funds allow donors to respond to certain program areas, such as youth, education, health, environment, arts, culture, etc. Grants created from these funds specify the field of interest but not the charitable agency.
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS Donor Advised Funds give the donor the advantage of assisting in charity selection each year, but allows the donor exemption from federal restrictions placed on private foundations. The Foundation’s Board of Directors, however, makes the final decision for the grants in accordance with Federal Tax Code regulations.
DESIGNATED FUNDS Designated funds not only give donors the opportunity to support their favorite charity but also provide the means necessary for perpetuity. The donor simply selects the charity to support when the fund is created.
SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS Scholarship funds may be established in memory of a loved one or to honor a friend, family member, or local hero to give deserving students the education they might not otherwise receive.
NON-PERMANENT FUNDS Non-permanent funds are typically established at the request of a donor or agency to provide support for charitable projects and recipients as recommended by the donor. The recommendations must be advisory only, and the Community Foundation may reject a recommendation. Preschool Scholarship Program Starting out Strong
At NICF, we strive to make a positive impact on the communities we serve; grant dollars are one of the main tools we use. In 2012, NICF looked at ways to make a substantial current impact that would also bring long-lasting benefits to Starke, Fulton, and Miami Counties. At the time the crucial role of preschool education was in the news, prompting NICF’s leadership to consider early child- hood educational opportunities here. With the support of a Lilly endowment grant, NICF employed college interns to assist. They reported that 85% of a child’s brain growth happens by the age of five, and that quality preschool education is key to healthy brain development and scholastic awareness of their benefits, should become $2,500. and the Community Foundation success, and to sustaining prosperous and a priority in grant making decisions.

1 An incoming and outgoing assessment was given to the children who received a preschool scholarship. This graph shows the progress the students made after one year of preschool and how they are more prepared for a kindergarten experience (before 1 yr of preschool light green; after 1 yr of preschool dark green). 2 The United Way of Miami County presented $30,610 to the Miami County Community Foundation (MCCF) to provide preschool scholarships to local children, thanks to a Indiana Association of United Way INvest1213 grant. This is a matching incentive that the United Way of Miami County was awarded due to the diligence of the United Way staff and the scores of local residents who continue to invest in the future of Miami County through the United Way.

KVREMC members were eligible to receive these scholarships. The Operation Round-Up program is made possible by participating customers’ allowing their monthly bills to be rounded up to the next dollar and added to the Operation Round-Up Fund. The money collected is then granted to worthy causes throughout the area.

Thanks to the Lilly Endowment’s two-year Community Foundation Internship program, the NICF was able to take advantage of the talents of four interns who completed last year’s annual report, interviewed donors, assisted with the completion of the reconfirmation of the Community Foundation National Standards, and wrote donor stories. Our interns for 2013: Jessica Jachim, Valparaiso University; Shannon Fin- ley, Manchester University; Krystal Clingler, Indiana University-South Bend; and Sarah Carman, Manchester University.
