The 2024 Choose Henry Fund-Community Grants, offered by the Henry County Community Foundation (HCCF), aim to address the broad needs of Henry County, Indiana. As a community foundation, HCCF's mission is to support diverse areas within the county, including health and medical, social services, education, cultural affairs, and civic affairs. This grant program is aligned with the foundation's overall mission to be responsive to changing community needs, be flexible, and focus on projects with the greatest benefit per dollar granted. The target beneficiaries of these grants are non-profit organizations serving Henry County, specifically those that have been selected through a letter of intent process. The impact goals are to support various programs and facilities that improve the quality of life within the county across the five key areas of interest. This includes, but is not limited to, supporting hospitals and rehabilitation centers, human service organizations, programs for children, youth, and the aged, educational initiatives from pre-school to post-secondary, cultural programs, and civic activities related to criminal justice, community development, and leadership training. The HCCF prioritizes change-oriented and problem-solving initiatives, emphasizing project support rather than ongoing general operating support. The foundation also encourages participation from other contributors through matching challenges and other grant techniques. Additionally, the HCCF aims to coordinate its programs with other funding sources, such as government, other foundations, and associations, to maximize impact. A key focus is to induce grant recipients to achieve objectives like increased efficiency, improved fundraising capabilities, and enhanced product or service delivery. Expected outcomes and measurable results are implicitly tied to the grant evaluation criteria. The foundation assesses whether there is an established need for the requested program or project, its appropriateness for HCCF funding, the adequacy of HCCF resources to respond, and the overall benefit to the community. While specific metrics are not explicitly detailed, the focus on "greatest benefit per dollar granted" and inducing recipients to improve efficiency and service delivery suggests an emphasis on demonstrable positive change and effective resource utilization within Henry County.
