Investing

For over three decades, the Community Foundation has grown gift by gift to become one of the largest foundations in west central Indiana with total assets over $86 million.  Since our founding, over $40 million has been granted into the communities that we serve.  Thousands of individuals, families, businesses and foundations have contributed to over 700 separate funds that create the lasting community capital for Clay, Sullivan and Vigo counties. Our ability to serve our communities today and into the future is directly related to our ability to preserve and enhance our financial assets.

Performance

The Community Foundation offers two separate investment portfolios for funds.  We offer the regular portfolio and an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) portfolio that mirrors the regular portfolio but excludes investments such as tobacco, carbon-based fuel, etc.  Fund creators must request their fund be invested in the ESG pool. Otherwise, it is added to the Investment Portfolio
