  Community Foundation Committee
 

The Community Foundation Committee is an advisory committee to GIFT and Indiana Grantmakers Alliance, and exists to promote, strengthen, and advance the work of Indiana community foundations. It has two guiding principles:

  1. Cultivate and communicate ideas and promote collaboration and cooperation among community foundations and between community foundations and other philanthropic institutions, and
  2. recognize and respond to the diverse nature of community foundations and respect these differences within the context of the Ethical and Operational Standards of Indiana Community Foundations.
The committee helps set policy for the Indiana community foundations, makes several resources available to the foundations, and helps facilitate statewide conversations about issues relevant to community foundations.

The committee is made up of 14 regionally elected representatives and 3 officers who serve at-large. The state is divided into seven regions, and the executive directors in each region meet 3 to 4 times each year. Each region elects two representatives to the committee. A chair, vice chair, and past chair round out the committee. which meets quarterly. Click here for a map of the state showing the regions and regional representatives.

Since 2007, the Committee has made a summary of each meeting available to the field. Click here to see summaries of the Committee meetings (available to Community Foundation members only).
