    About Schurz Communications Foundation

    The Schurz Communications Foundation primarily funds mid-sized, locally focused nonprofits in the South Bend/Mishawaka (St. Joseph County) area, with particular emphasis on youth services, education, housing, and community health. Their portfolio mixes secular and faith-based organizations and supports both program and capital needs — from autism services and early childhood/kindergarten initiatives to affordable housing and recreational facilities. Grants tend to be sizable single-year awards that address concrete local needs rather than national initiatives.

    Who They Fund

    About Schurz Communications Foundation

    A $50,000 grant to Logan Resource Center for its Center for Autism is one of the clearest signals of how Schurz Communications Foundation Inc gives: locally, in relatively large single awards, and toward concrete community needs. Across recent grants, the foundation backed youth services, education, housing, faith-based community work, health-related support, and facilities in South Bend and nearby St. Joseph County organizations. The same pattern shows up in awards such as $37,500 to Youth Services Bureau St Joseph Co for the Young Moms Program and $30,000 to United Way of St Joseph County for Kindergarten Camp. Schurz Communications Foundation Inc also supports capital and program needs, including facility-oriented grants and general operating support. The portfolio includes organizations serving children, students, families, and community members through autism services, early childhood programming, housing, and neighborhood support. Recent grants are all in Indiana, reflecting a tightly local grantmaking footprint centered on the South Bend/Mishawaka area and its surrounding communities.

    What Schurz Communications Foundation Funds

    Education is a recurring thread in the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $30,000 to United Way of St Joseph County for Kindergarten Camp and $7,500 to South Bend Education Foundation for Teacher Wish Lists, both tied to school-age support. Housing and neighborhood stability also appear in the portfolio: Habitat for Humanity of St Joseph County received $25,000 for general support. The foundation likewise funded $12,500 to The Music Village to expand facility space, showing attention to nonprofit infrastructure as well as services. Health and social support appear in the grant to Beacon Health Foundation for general support, while faith-linked community service organizations such as St Margaret’s House also received support.

    How Schurz Communications Foundation Gives

    Typical grant size clusters at $25,000, with a 25th percentile of $10,000 and a median of $25,000; the 75th percentile is also $25,000, which suggests a fairly tight band around that amount. Recent giving includes both one-time and repeated support: The Jewish Federation of St Joseph Valley received grants in 2024 and 2025, and Habitat for Humanity of St Joseph County appears in both 2023 and 2025. The foundation is a corporate foundation tied to Schurz Communications, and it accepts unsolicited applications for its capital and endowment grant programs.
