|
OUR BEGINNING In 1979, a group of civic-minded individuals sought to raise funds for the establishment of a community foundation, as a way to promote charitable giving for the betterment of the community. It was decided that the Boy Scout Cabin at Johnson Lake should be sold, with the proceeds to be invested. Those proceeds were the founding funds for the Elwood Area Foundation, which was established in 1980. Thanks to the foresight of these far-thinking individuals, the Elwood Area Foundation will serve the Elwood Area for years to come. |

|
MISSION The mission of the Elwood Area Foundation is to encourage,
enhance and provide opportunities for charitable giving; and to manage and
distribute the funds in a responsible manner in order to strengthen the
Elwood Area Community and benefit the future generations of our community. Our areas of focus are Youth Enrichment, Community
Improvement, and Donor Impact. Thanks
to generous donations from our supporters, the Foundation is able to make an
impact in all these area. To learn how
you can help, please contact the Foundation Office or one of the Foundation
Board members. We welcome the opportunity to visit with you. |

|
BOARD MEMBERS & STAFF: The Elwood Area Foundation is led
by a dedicated team of volunteers who are passionate about the future of the
Elwood Area. These board members are responsible administrators of the
Foundation’s pool of funds. They carefully measure the impact
of each investment made with Foundation funds to ensure it meets one of the our three areas of focus. |
