Horizon Bank Helps Launch Foundation Campaign

horizon-pccf-grant-2015The Porter County Community Foundation was presented with a $25,000 check from Horizon Bank in support of the Foundation’s Tomorrow Starts Today campaign.

“As a corporate citizen, we have a responsibility to assist in the growth and prosperity of our communities,” said Dave Rose, Horizon Bank Executive Vice President. “We are honored to participate in this investment in our nonprofit organizations and in Porter County.”

The ambitious $6.5 million Tomorrow Starts Today campaign is raising funds to renovate a former medical center, located at 1401 Calumet, into the Center for Community Philanthropy, which will include a nonprofit conference center and permanent home for the Foundation. The campaign efforts will also create an endowment match for local nonprofits and grow the Foundation’s endowed funds to expand its annual grant making.

To date, $5.3 million toward the $6.5 million goal has been raised. “The success of the campaign so far is due to the generosity of donors like Horizon Bank,” said Barb Young, Foundation President. “We are fortunate to have such strong support from our community.”

The Porter County Community Foundation awards nearly $2 million in scholarships and grants to nonprofit organizations annually. The Foundation inspires giving and engages the community to improve lives in Porter County now and forever. For campaign updates or to make a gift online visit www.portercountyfoundation.org.
