The Putnam County Community Foundation (PCCF) is preparing for the upcoming Share the Dream program which begins Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
This year, PCCF’s Philanthropic Development Committee is offering an endowment building opportunity for 12 of its component funds which are working toward endowment status.

“We are excited to see the impact of the eligible funds grow with the help of generous community members during the Share the Dream program,”commented Neysa Meyer, Executive Director of the Putnam County Community Foundation. “The power of endowment can make an immeasurable difference to Putnam County. A $50,000 gift today can grow to $150,000 in 50 years even while providing over triple its initial value in grants to support the community.”
Share the Dream will run from October 1-31. Eligible funds must receive qualifying donations totaling a minimum of $250 during the program dates to receive a portion of $30,000 endowment building grant. The first $500 in qualifying donations made will be matched dollar for dollar. Donations beyond the first $500 will be matched proportionally with the remaining match grant dollars across all participating funds.
All cash and check donations must be received at the Putnam County Community Foundation between 8:30 AM on Tuesday, October 1 and 5:00 PM on Thursday, October 31. Checks dated or received outside the program dates will not qualify. Online gifts may qualify if they are made between 12:00 AM on Tuesday, October 1 and 11:59 PM on Thursday, October 31 at pcfoundation.org.
Consider a gift to a fund listed above and help them increase their impact. Donations can be mailed to 2 S. Jackson St., Greencastle 46135, or can be made online at www.pcfoundation.org.
