As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the incredible growth and achievements made possible through the generosity and dedication of our community. This day offers a moment to reflect on all we have accomplished together and to express our deepest thanks to everyone who has contributed to our shared mission.
This year, we are especially grateful for the opportunities that have allowed us to strengthen our impact. The growth of our Youth Philanthropy Council continues to inspire as we mentor the next generation of leaders and philanthropists. Through their energy and vision, we are cultivating a lasting legacy of giving and leadership that will benefit White County for years to come.
We are also thankful for the partnerships and collaborations that have propelled us forward. Our recent efforts to gather data on childcare needs and youth assets have provided invaluable insights, guiding not only our foundation’s initiatives but also influencing broader community strategies. This progress reflects the collective strength of working together toward common goals.
We cannot express enough gratitude for the outpouring of support for the current 2:1 matching campaign. This effort has drawn new donors from across the county and beyond, significantly bolstering our unrestricted funds and ensuring we can continue addressing pressing needs through our community grantmaking efforts.
At the heart of all this growth is you – our donors, volunteers, and community partners. Your belief in our mission, your generosity, and your willingness to work together are the reasons for our success. We are endlessly thankful for the trust you place in us and the role you play in building a stronger, more vibrant White County.
This Thanksgiving, let’s celebrate not only the season but the spirit of gratitude that unites us. Together, we are shaping a community that thrives, uplifts, and empowers all its members. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.
Happy Thanksgiving from your Community Foundation of White County!
