GREENVILLE — The Darke County Foundation recently invited representatives from local non-profit organizations to its annual grant recognition program at the Birchwood Center in Greenville. These organizations provide valuable services to Darke County residents, enriching and strengthening the well-being of our community.

The $195,000 in grants came from 30 donor-established funds, mostly permanent endowment funds that distribute investment income every year while maintaining the original gift amount. Grant money also came from the Friends of the Foundation Fund that is bolstered each year by hundreds of community supporters. Every dollar of Friends’ donations was used for these grants.
