Ideal Applicant
Established human-services, health, library or community organizations with an existing local connection in the Terre Haute / Vigo County area or a formal relationship with the Wabash Valley Community Foundation or the trustee.
Good Fit
- • Organization operates in Terre Haute / Vigo County or broader Indiana and serves local community needs.
- • Has an existing relationship with Wabash Valley Community Foundation, the trustee, or past grantees.
- • Requests modest program support (typical award sizes are in the low thousands).
- • Track record of stable operations and ability to steward repeat small grants.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Indiana—roughly 95% of dollars—and centered on Terre Haute, with only one small out-of-state grant observed.
Recipient Variety
Six distinct independent recipients were funded each year across three years, covering several service areas (community foundation, library, hospice, homeless services, health research), but the same six organizations repeat annually.
New Applicants
Across three observed years there were no new recipients and the foundation's records indicate it funds only preselected applicants; combined with the repetitive three-year pattern, this suggests unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio.
