Posted on December 6, 2021

To celebrate National Philanthropy Week Nov. 15-19, the Kosciusko County Community Foundation partnered with WRSW Classic Hits 107.3 and Willie 103.5 and their listeners to give away ten $100 grants to local charities.

Community Foundation staff and board members took part in on-air interviews each day to talk about philanthropy and the many different ways the Community Foundation serves the local area, according to a news release from the Foundation.

Two winning callers were chosen each day to nominate their favorite local charity to receive a grant, and the chosen charities were: Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County, American Heart Association, Combined Community Services, CASA of Kosciusko County, One Dog At A Time Rescue, Kosciusko TNR, Spoonful of Imagination Studio, The Beaman Home and Kosciusko County Riley Kids Fund.

The Community Foundation is a public charity that grants over $6 million annually in the areas of education, health, arts and culture, recreation, civic projects, environment and human services.
