OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Elwood Area Foundation is to
encourage, enhance and provide opportunities for charitable giving. 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.
WHAT IS THE ELWOOD AREA FOUNDATION?
The Elwood Area Foundation was established
from the sale of the Boy Scout Cabin in 1980 in the amount of $100,000.
Since that time additional money has been received through memorials, bequests,
endowments and donations allowing the Foundation to grow. The Foundation
invests and administers these funds. We then use the distributions to
award grants each year to many of the humanitarian, educational and cultural
organizations in the Elwood area. The Foundation is now recognized as a
501(c)(3) charitable organization.
WHAT DOES THE ELWOOD AREA FOUNDATION DO?
- Administers 30 scholarships each year
- Accepts gifts in memory or in honor
- Administers a student loan program
- Grants to Boy & Girl Scouting programs
- Grants to Youth Organizations
WHAT TYPES OF TAX DEDUCTIBLE GIFTS CAN BE
MADE?
Anyone who wishes to give
to the betterment of the community may make their contributions payable to the
Elwood Area Foundation. A gift which has no designated purpose will be
used for charitable purposes in the community. A designated gift will
only be used as the donor directs. Types of gifts that can be given
include:
- Cash
- Publicly traded securities
- Closely held stock
- Real Estate
- Retirement assets
- U.S. savings bonds and annuities
