This community foundation directs most of its giving to small-town civic institutions in Martin and Lawrence counties (notably Loogootee and Shoals), prioritizing local government, schools, libraries, and Methodist congregations. Grants support community infrastructure and quality-of-life projects — parks, recreation, public safety, historical preservation, addiction recovery and youth programs — and include scholarship funding. The foundation favors place-based, practical investments that sustain everyday community services and institutions.

About Community Foundation Partnership

Community Foundation Partnership Inc. directs much of its recent giving to the civic fabric of Martin and Lawrence counties, with large grants to the City of Loogootee, Shoals Public Library, and Shoals Community School Corporation. The pattern is local and place-based: grants support town government, parks and recreation, public schools, libraries, churches, historical preservation, and community services tied to everyday life in small Indiana communities. Recent awards also show support for addiction recovery, youth recreation, cemetery stewardship, and volunteer fire service. The foundation’s largest recent grant in the dataset was $250,000 to the City of Loogootee for exempt-purpose work, followed by $210,012 to Shoals Public Library and $129,048 to Shoals Community School Corporation. These awards sit alongside repeated support for municipal entities and community institutions in Loogootee, Shoals, Bedford, Mitchell, and nearby towns. The recent-grants record shows a funder that favors practical operating support for organizations that anchor local services, rather than a broad regional or national grantmaking profile. Leadership is listed as Esperanza Flores.
