Welcome to the Stronger Together Campaign
Give to a Stronger Together Fund and get a match of $3 to $1!
As Hendricks County continues to grow and evolve, so do the new opportunities and challenges before us. Through it all, one thing remains constant: when our community comes together, we can accomplish more than any one of us could alone.
Stronger Together has already demonstrated what is possible. Through the generosity of donors, the Stronger Together Campaign in 2023-2025 raised $1.5 million—enabling a $3 million Lilly Endowment match for a total impact of $4.5 million. These permanent resources ensure our community thrives now and for generations to come.
Building on that success, we’re excited to announce the next chapter of Stronger Together!
Through Lilly Endowment’s GIFT IX initiative, eligible gifts to HCCF’s unrestricted endowment funds qualify for a $2-to-$1 match. And thanks to an additional commitment from an anonymous donor, gifts can currently receive another $1-to-$1 match—turning every dollar given into four dollars working for Hendricks County.
The additional matching opportunity is limited, so now is an extraordinary time to participate.
This is not a new campaign. It is the next chapter of Stronger Together.
Stronger Together has become how we build and sustain unrestricted impact in Hendricks County.

The Power of Unrestricted Endowment Funds
Unrestricted endowment funds are among the most powerful tools we can steward as a community foundation. They provide the flexibility to respond to the most pressing needs of our community—today and in the future—while also investing in opportunities as they emerge.
Stronger Together brings these resources together into one unified effort to serve Hendricks County. Through Stronger Together, HCCF’s unrestricted funds—including the Deedee Daniel Opportunity Fund and our Family Legacy Funds—work collectively to support effective local organizations, strengthen communities, and provide leadership as needs evolve.
Family Legacy Funds, in particular, represent a lasting commitment to Hendricks County. These permanent funds allow families and organizations to create something enduring—supporting the community year after year, generation after generation.
