This week is Community Foundation Week. It is a time to recognize generous foundations, companies and individuals who give their time, talent and treasure to improve life in Indiana.
According to information submitted by Community Foundation of Pulaski County officials, more than $193 million was put back into local communities by community foundations in Indiana.
Community Foundation of Pulaski County officials are planning to address high priority challenges with the creation of a community action plan, and find innovative and effective solutions for challenging social problems and promote opportunities to benefit residents.
They encourage residents to donate back to the community.
