Friends of Porter County Community Foundation to Match Donations

The Porter County Community Foundation has announced that donations to the We Are Porter County Emergency Response Fund are currently being matched.  Thanks to a group of long-time community supporters – Jacki Stutzman, Andy and Sue Arnold, Stewart and Kathryn McMillan and David Milligan – contributions to the Emergency Response Fund are being matched dollar for dollar up to $40,000.  

Grants from the fund will be directed to Porter County nonprofits to assist them in meeting increased need due to the coronavirus.

“I am honored to be included in this group of people who care deeply about our community,” said Jacki Stutzman, matching donor and Community Foundation Board member.  “We hope others will give generously to the Emergency Response Fund knowing that their gift will be worth twice as much.”

“Generosity will play a crucial role in helping our community address the challenges caused by the COVID-19 crisis.  The Foundation is grateful to this special group of friends who have stepped forward to inspire others to give,” said Bill Higbie, President and CEO of Porter County Community Foundation.  

The Foundation and United Way of Porter County are working together to disburse rapid response grants to nonprofits on the front lines of protecting and meeting basic needs of Porter County residents.

Contributions can be made on the Foundation’s website at www.pccf.gives/weareporter, or by sending a check to the Porter County Community Foundation at 1401 Calumet Avenue, Valparaiso, IN 46383.
