About Ripley County Community Foundation

Ripley County Community Foundation Inc’s recent grantmaking shows a strong local pattern: one 2025 grant of $200,000 went to Citizens Aquatic Center Inc in Batesville, alongside repeated support for schools, health organizations, and community groups across Ripley County. The foundation’s portfolio includes both large project funding and smaller, recurring awards, which makes its role visible across different parts of the county’s civic life. The foundation gives through a mix of unrestricted and purpose-specific support. Its recent grants include $40,000 to Jac Cen Del Scholarship Foundation in Osgood, $23,500 to Batesville Community School Corporation, and $20,000 to Margaret Mary Health Foundation, all in 2025. Other recipients in the record include New Horizons Rehabilitation Inc, National Muzzle Loading Rifle Assoc, Create Foundation Inc, Kids Discovery Factory Inc, and Safe Passage Inc. Across the grant list, awards appear at several levels rather than a single fixed amount. Its stated work centers on Ripley County and includes arts and culture, education and workforce development, health and well-being, environment and natural resources, youth philanthropy, women’s giving, and local initiatives. That mix suggests a community foundation structure focused on place-based funding and county needs.

What Ripley County Community Foundation Funds

In education-related work, the foundation backed both institutions and scholarship providers. One 2025 grant of $40,000 supported Jac Cen Del Scholarship Foundation in Osgood, while $23,500 went to Batesville Community School Corporation the same year. The grant record also includes Batesville Community Education Foundation and the locally administered Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship program. Health and well-being is another visible area. The foundation gave $20,000 to Margaret Mary Health Foundation and $15,000 to New Horizons Rehabilitation Inc, both in Batesville in 2025. It also funded Safe Passage Inc, showing support for organizations serving different community needs within the county. Arts, culture, and community life appear as well. Grants went to Gibson Theatre Inc and Batesville Main Street Inc, and the record includes support for the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Assoc in Friendship. These awards sit alongside county-oriented initiatives such as Osgood-based projects and local capacity-building efforts.
