How does the foundation make grants?

It uses several grantmaking channels: donor-advised fund grants, competitive grants for Harrison County nonprofits, scholarships, the Jump Start Preschool Program, town planning grants, and designated endowment fund grants. Some programs are unsolicited and online, while donor-advised and designated endowment grants require board approval.

What is a typical grant size?

The grant-size distribution is $9,742 at the 25th percentile, $19,880 at the median, and $106,013 at the 75th percentile. That pattern suggests many grants are relatively modest, with a smaller number of much larger awards.

Does the foundation fund only local organizations?

Its geographic scope is local, and 94% of grants go to recipients in Indiana. The recent grants list is entirely U.S.-based, with 56 grants to U.S. recipients. Recent recipients include organizations in Corydon, Lanesville, Ramsey, New Albany, and Clarksville.

Are scholarships part of its grantmaking?

Yes. The foundation administers HCCF Scholarships, the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship for Harrison County, Building Our Future Scholarship awards, and over 120 endowed scholarship funds. The Building Our Future Scholarship is renewable at $2,500 per year for up to four years.

About Harrison County Community Foundation Supporting Organization

Harrison County Community Foundation Supporting Organization Inc channels most of its grantmaking into Harrison County institutions, with 94% of grants landing in Indiana and a public-charity structure that pairs community funds with donor-advised and designated endowment vehicles. The foundation’s recent records show large, repeated support for county government, schools, parks, and local nonprofits, all tied to its mission of producing positive and sustainable growth in Harrison County. A defining feature is the size of its county investments. The Harrison County Board of Commissioners received $3,500,000 in both 2024 and 2025, following a $1,465,200 grant in 2023. Other major local awards include $950,000 to the Harrison County Parks Department in 2025 and $890,450 to the Harrison County Agricultural Society in 2024, with another $815,000 to the same recipient in 2025. The pattern suggests a funder that works at both the civic-infrastructure level and through ongoing support for education, health, and community services. The foundation also administers scholarship and planning programs, including county scholarships, a preschool funding initiative, and town planning grants for multiple Harrison County communities.

What Harrison County Community Foundation Supporting Organization Funds

Education is one of the foundation’s clearest priorities.

In the recent grants list, Lanesville Community School Corporation received $335,099 in 2023, and St Joseph Catholic School received $19,416 in 2025. Early childhood support appears through the Jump Start Preschool Program, a multi-year preschool funding effort that began as a pilot in 2013. Community development and civic infrastructure also show up in the grant record through awards to the Town of Corydon, including $154,643 in 2025 and $104,366 in 2023, as well as support for the Town Planning Initiative that serves multiple Harrison County towns. Health and human services are another recurring theme.
