We provide philanthropic leadership by encouraging giving, learning, community pride, and civic engagement.
Community Foundation of Hancock County Inc’s recent giving is anchored by a $3,203,390 general-support grant to Legacy Properties of Hancock County Community Foundation, a reminder that it works through both large community transfers and a wide local grant portfolio. The foundation funds a mix of operating, program, and capital support across Hancock County, with recent awards reaching parks, health, youth services, human services, literacy, and community development. Its grant list also shows repeated support for the same local organizations over multiple years, including Hancock Health Foundation, The Landing, Boys and Girls Club of Hancock County, and Greenfield Christian Church. Several grants point to a county-level role beyond straightforward operating support. Greenfield Parks Department received program support for park-related work, while Hancock Co Food Pantry and Hancock Co Senior Services appear among recipients that help meet everyday community needs. The foundation also administers scholarship programs and a youth philanthropy award, adding education and youth leadership to its funding profile. With 85% of grants going to Indiana recipients and a local geographic scope, the grantmaking pattern is tightly tied to Hancock County and nearby communities.
In health and human services, Community Foundation of Hancock County Inc gave $79,519 to Hancock Health Foundation for operating support and $48,761 to Hancock Co Food Pantry for operating support, alongside $29,592 to Riley Children’s Foundation. Those grants show support for both health access and basic-needs organizations. The foundation also backs literacy and education through $62,794 to Dollywood Foundation for book expense, $57,448 for the same purpose in 2024, and $35,401 in 2025. Its education work extends through scholarship administration, including the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program and more than 100 endowed scholarship funds. Community development and recreation show up in local project grants such as $45,000 to Shirley Community Visionaries for pickleball in park and $42,000 to Greenfield Main Street for community enhancement. Together with support for parks and small civic projects, these awards connect the foundation to place-based improvements in Hancock County.
