The Western Indiana Community Foundation is pleased to announce we have opened a request for grant proposals for projects that activate or create public spaces to advance a more vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive community.
Fountain County has long been a community of makers: industrious people driven to build, create, and innovate â together. Through the âBetter When We Gather â Creative Places Initiative,â the Community Foundation is seeking to build upon the maker mindset, so prevalent in our counties, to activate or create public spaces that advance a more vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive community. In 2020, nearly 75 individuals participated in group convening sessions and personal interviews. These county stakeholders learned a great deal about where we succeed and where we could do better. We also learned that the communities within our broader community are very willing to engage and that being better requires that we gather and work together.
