Fund Story

Our family believes that financial treasures are gifts, even though hard earned, bestowed on us to be shared to benefit others. We desire to be generous toward efforts that affect the quality of human life, from life giving assistance, support throughout life and continual improvements in quality of life in the communities of La Porte County. With the Unity Foundation of La Porte County, our donations not only reach those efforts deemed most in need but also attract matching funds from the Lilly Endowment Inc., and other entities allowing our hard-earned dollars stretch farther for the good of the community. Having a Fund established perpetuates future giving, such as Estate Planning, Qualified Charitable Distributions and general Philanthropy. Family giving further creates a bond to encourage and sustain the awareness and appreciation of helping others for several generations that outlive us.
