We are thrilled to officially share that we have reached our Lilly Endowment GIFT VIII match goal, thanks to a very generous $10,000 private donation that helped carry us across the finish line.

This achievement is a powerful reminder of the impact that happens when we give where we live. This wasn’t one gift or one person—it was an entire community choosing to invest locally. Hundreds of acts of generosity came together to create something truly transformational for Union County.

Because of you, this milestone will generate $771,000 in community impact, funding grants that will support nonprofits, programs, and neighbors right here at home—now and for generations to come.
