Program areas at CFEC
The Community Foundation of Elkhart County (cfec) was established in 1988 to inspire people to make charitable gifts that improve the quality of life in Elkhart County. As a public, tax-exempt philanthropic organization, cfec solicits and develops both endowed and non-endowed funds with a primary focus on benefiting local charities and helping local individuals achieve their charitable goals. Grants from restricted funds are issued in accordance with the terms established in the respective governing fund agreements. Most of these grants are to local tax-exempt organizations and span a wide array of charitable causes, including arts & culture, Community development, education & youth development, health & human services, religious institutions, and scholarships. Cfec also maintains a fund for Elkhart County that represents unrestricted dollars. Cfec's board is using the unrestricted dollars to advance three focus areas that benefit the County: career pathways, kids & family, and placemaking. Additionally, cfec serves as the local administrator for the lilly endowment Community scholarship.
