Stimulate and encourage additional funding

Travel
Attendance at conferences, seminars or other projects
Programs that fall more appropriately under government funding, such as operating expenses for public schools and police or fire protection
Requests from organizations that have an open Community Funds grant file (i.e., a balance remaining on a previous grant or an unfiled final report)
Ineligible

Individuals

Political activities or those designated to influence legislation
National organizations (unless the monies are to be used solely to benefit citizens of Kosciusko County)
Fund-raising projects
The direct benefit of the donor or the donor’s family
Religious organizations for the sole purpose of furthering that religion (this prohibition does not apply to funds created by donors who have specifically designated religious organizations as beneficiaries of the funds)
