To make generosity last forever by building and stewarding charitable endowments that provide ongoing grant and scholarship support to benefit Crawford County, Indiana.
Community Foundation of Crawford County Inc. centers its giving on Crawford County, Indiana, where every recorded grant in the data lands in-state and the foundation uses charitable endowments to provide ongoing grant and scholarship support. A distinctive part of its work is local scholarship administration: it runs the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship selection process for Crawford County graduating seniors, connecting county students to full-tuition awards and related support for books and equipment. That scholarship role sits alongside a broader mix of community grants, education support, youth development, workforce development, historic preservation, disaster relief, and nonprofit capacity building. Recent grants show the foundation backing both community institutions and place-based organizations. Friends of the Marengo Big Springs Old Town Church received $60,000 in 2023, while Crawford County Economic Development received $45,000 in 2025. Other local recipients include the Boys and Girls Club of Harrison-crawford Counties, Crawford County Community School Corporation, Breeden Memorial Library, and Crawford County United Ministries. The pattern suggests a community foundation serving a defined county geography through a combination of scholarship administration, general support, and locally directed grantmaking.
Education is a recurring theme. Crawford County Community School Corporation received $17,157 in 2023 and $12,252 in 2025, while Crawford County High School received $6,000 in 2024 and $5,500 in 2023. The foundation also administers scholarship programs for local students, including the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship process. Community and youth-serving organizations appear often as well. Boys and Girls Club of Harrison-crawford Counties received $28,650 in 2024, $25,000 in 2025, and $20,500 in 2023. Crawford County Youth Baseball & Softball received $16,000 in 2023 and $5,822 in 2025, and the Crawford County Youth Philanthropy Council makes youth-led recommendations for grants that benefit the county. Civic and place-based support is another thread. Crawford County Economic Development received multiple awards, including $23,073 in 2024 and three $11,136 grants in 2024. Friends of the Marengo Big Springs Old Town Church also received repeated support, including $15,000 in 2024 and $11,322 in 2025.
