MIAMI COUNTY, IN- On December 3, the Miami County Community Foundation’s Annual Giving Tuesday Campaign culminated with an event at the Peru Civic Center.
Community members donated nearly $35,000 and combined with $45,000 from Lilly Endowment match funds, the Giving Tuesday total contribution neared $80,000 for the Miami County Community Foundation. All donations will be put back into the community through local grants and scholarships in alignment with the foundation’s mission to improve the quality of life in Miami County now and forever.
Giving Tuesday, always held the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, brings the generosity of people all around the world together to make real change, and year after year, Miami County exceeds the day’s sentiment.
“We are deeply grateful for the generosity shown by our community,” said Cheryl Broyles, Director of Development. “Your support creates meaningful opportunities and lasting change. Together, we’re building a brighter future for generations to come.”
There is an ongoing $2 match for every $1 donated to any community funds that will be available through 2025. Visit the foundation’s website at www.nicf.org to see how donations are making a positive impact on your community.
