Guiding Principles
- Individuals with disabilities deserve a choice driven life (self-determination). Preferences, opinions, priorities and accommodations are best defined by the individual rather than for the individual.
- Inclusion and integration are better than segregation. The more inclusive and integrated an environment, activity or program, the more it benefits everyone.
- Opportunities are presented with a focus on encouraging potential, rather than identifying limitations.
- Social settings that include family and friends are preferred. Age-related peer groups and the potential for new friends are ideal.
- ADA standards are the law and the minimum. Exceeding through the principles of Universal Design is desirable.
- Opportunities that enhance and support education and employment potential will contribute to greater independence for the individual.
- No one has all the answers. Collaboration increases the potential for greater opportunities.
Ineligibility
- The community foundation will not consider grants for:
- 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)
- Contributions to endowments.
