The year 2007 saw good things happen in the Putnam County community.
Several new businesses became operational or neared completion; Ivy Tech
Community College received approval to build a new facility in Greencastle;
the DePauw Nature Park and Prindle Institute for Ethics became active; crop
yields were good; and there were numerous examples of civic responsibility and community involvement.
It was also a successful year of service and growth for the Community Foundation. Donors established
24 new funds. Twenty-one organizations continued building their endowments with assistance
from matching grants from the Community Foundation. The Youth Philanthropy Committee began
awarding grants to projects initiated by Putnam County youth. Attendees at the monthly
Learning Series reported successfully using the information and tools they received. The
Foundation’s investment portfolio earned more than $1.4 million for the community’s benefit.
The Knoy Resource Center was recognized at the state level as a “promising practice.”
The Community Foundation is pleased to celebrate all of our many community
successes. At the same time it is important to honor and recognize the challenges and
losses we experienced. The measure of a community – like the measure of a person –
is found in the response to adversity and suffering. Time and time again, Putnam County
citizens demonstrate a level of caring and support for each other that is truly remarkable.
Time and time again, Putnam County citizens pull together unselfishly and accomplish
amazing things. Time and time again, people turn personal tragedy into opportunities to
inspire and strengthen others.
We are grateful for the opportunity to share this yearbook commemorating some of the
highlights of 2007. We are honored to celebrate the lives and contributions of those who
continue to inspire and strengthen others. We are proud to be a part of this community.
Thank you Putnam County!
Sincerely,
Murray F. Pride

Dear Friends and Neighbors:

Message from the President
and Executive Director
Making an impact
Community Grants Program
Making grants that make a difference is one of the most important activities of the
Community Foundation. The grants on these pages are made possible through donations
to unrestricted endowments administered by the Community Foundation. Grant applications
are reviewed by an advisory committee consisting of local people who are knowledgeable
of and involved in the community. Grants are awarded in all areas of the county and across
a broad philanthropic spectrum. Grant making priorities are based upon input from the
community and a periodic community needs assessment. For the last few years, the
Community Foundation has focused its grant making power on economic development,
educational attainment, health and fitness, non-profit capacity building, senior citizen
issues, and transportation access.
2007 Annual Report
Grant applications are available online at www.pcfoundation.org.

In 2007, $375,000 was committed
to the Ivy Tech Greencastle
Campus from unrestricted
endowments. Ivy Tech is the largest
single grant beneficiary in the
Community Foundation’s history.
Because of unrestricted gifts from donors,
Putnam County will benefit by having more
post-secondary education opportunities close by.
Business and industry will benefit from having a
skilled work force, and local retail will benefit by
students and faculty traveling into the county.
“The Community Foundation
has the power to make a
difference in the community
primarily through the
generosity of donors who
make unrestricted gifts.”
Elaine Peck, Executive Director
Unrestricted Endowments Are Among Most Valuable
As the primary philanthropic resource in the county,
Foundation Directors are frequently called upon to
respond to emerging community needs. From this
perspective, unrestricted gifts and endowments are the
most valuable, and the generosity of the individuals and
organizations listed to the right deserves special recognition.

2007 Community Grants
Inspiring community philanthropy
The Youth Philanthropy Committee
The Community Foundation’s Board of Directors established the Youth Philanthropy Committee to promote civic leadership and responsibility and provide experiences of philanthropy for
Putnam County’s future leaders. The committee is composed of two representatives from each
of the county’s four school corporations, a college representative, a 4-H representative, two
at-large members, and up to four adults.
“It has been very exciting to
see the Youth Philanthropy
Committee’s progression and
the local youth groups’ projects
become reality.”
Ashlyn Archer, Co-Chair
Youth Philanthropy Committee

2007 Youth Philanthropy Grants

Committee members encouraged other youth in
the community to identify a need or project and
develop a plan to address the need. Youth
submitted formal written grant applications,
including a budget, and also made a
presentation to the Committee to explain their
projects. The Committee evaluated proposals
received and awarded $4,346 to youth led
projects in 2007. Members began building an
endowment to provide financial support for
future grantmaking.

leadership and philanthropy in our youth.

The Philanthropy Week Essay Contest
English teachers from all four county school corporations were invited to assign their 7th graders
an essay describing a philanthropist they know personally. The best essays from each school
corporation were forwarded to the Community Foundation where a panel of independent judges
selected the grand prize winner.
In 2007, grand prize winner Josie Parent, wrote an essay called “In the Shadows,” about the good
works of her father. “Although my dad’s name may never appear in lights, his time and money
work in the shadows to bring a small light into others lives.”
“Although my dad’s name may never appear in
lights, his time and money work in the shadows
to bring a small light into others’ lives.”
Josie Parent, Grand Prize Winner
2007 Philanthropy Essay Contest
Josie Parent accepts $500 check for North Putnam Middle School in her honor from Eric Wolfe of the Community Foundation. Also present
are teacher Susan Trent, her father Doug Parent and Middle School Principal Terry Tippin. Josie was given the award after winning the 2007
Philanthropy Week Essay Contest for her essay about her father’s selfless and charitable acts.

“In our second year,
there was an increase
in awareness of services
we offer. Students come
to the Center from Clay,
Putnam, Morgan,
Hendricks, and even
Johnson County.”
Increasing educational attainment
The Knoy Resource Center
The Knoy Resource Center, founded in 2006, is a community-school
collaborative housed in Cloverdale High School. Partnerships
between communities and their school corporations are correlated
with increased performance of students, and the results of the Knoy
Resource Center have been remarkable. “During our second year,
nearly 100% of eligible 8th graders were enrolled in the 21st Century
Scholarship Program,” said Toni Tomlinson, Coordinator of the
Program.
The Community Foundation is the fiscal sponsor of the project and
chairs the Education Council, the governing body which provides
oversight for the Center and its programs. The Center is a threeyear pilot project, with measurable goals related to increasing
educational attainment and workforce skills. Due to the project’s
success, and the interest expressed by other school corporations,
the Education Council is seeking funding to continue and replicate
the initiative in other schools.

Increasing non-profit capacity
The Non-Profit Learning Series
Vibrant non-profit organizations are a hallmark of a successful community. The Putnam County
Community Foundation offers ten workshops each year designed to support local churches,
non-profit organizations and units of government moving to the next level of community service
and leadership. The curriculum covers topics recommended by workshop attendees, such as
strategic planning, board governance, marketing, development, event planning, and financial
accountability. Grant-writing and individualized strategic planning sessions are offered upon
request.
To obtain the schedule of this year’s sessions and to register for a workshop, contact Eric Wolfe,
Community Development Director at [email protected].
“Without doubt, the Learning Series has raised the consciousness
of local not-for-profit organizations, and has expanded
understanding and skills regarding every type and level of
giving. The spirit of shared interest and common commitment
felt among the attendees at the series has been an added plus.”

The Endowment Builder Program
The Putnam County Community Foundation offers matching dollars to help Putnam County
non-profits establish and/or build endowments for their own use. Participating organizations
set a goal, have a plan, and complete their campaigns within one year. “All of the charities
who have participated have been successful,” said Eric Wolfe, Community Development
Director for the Community Foundation. “One organization stated that building an
endowment helped them increase other types of revenue.”
An endowment is an important element of a diversified revenue stream for a non-profit.
Contributions to endowed funds are never spent. Instead they are invested in a diversified
portfolio of stocks and bonds, and a portion of the earnings is granted each year for the
designated charitable purpose. In eighteen years, total grants from an endowed fund will
have exceeded the original contribution, and the fund’s size will have nearly doubled. Since
inception of the Community Foundation, average investment earnings, net of all fees, have
been nearly 9%.
To apply for an Endowment Builder grant, contact Eric Wolfe at [email protected].
“The Endowment Builder matching funds and the
training provided in conjunction with this effort
have been of great value in helping us strive toward
our goal of sustainability for Sycamore Trails
RC&D Council.”

All-Caregivers’ Support Group Fund
Founded by Marsha Costin and Cindy Little, All-Caregivers
Support Group strives to ease the stress of the individual
caregiver, raise public awareness of the special needs of
caregivers, and promote the interests of caregivers. The
organization gathers and shares information, assisting
caregivers in their duties as well as helping them maintain
their own health and quality of life. It is the long-term vision
of All-Caregivers Support Group to improve the quality of
life for caregivers and to help ensure no one has to face
caregiving alone. To help carry out this dream, a fund was
established with the Putnam County Community
Foundation on September 25, 2007.

Bainbridge Improvement Society Endowment
A gift from Bainbridge Masonic Lodge 75, made in honor
of Richard and Lorraine Pronckus, helped the Bainbridge
Improvement Society start an endowment and capitalize on
matching dollars from the Community Foundation’s Endowment
Builder program. The primary purpose of the fund shall be to
provide financial support to the Bainbridge Improvement Society,
a not-for-profit agency under Code section 501(c)(3). Funds will
be used for the general support of operations and projects of the
Bainbridge Improvement Society. In 2002, the Society established
a Community Center for the Town. In 2007, the Society purchased
and installed a Community Center sign.

Christine and Howard Berliner Scholarship Fund
Howard and Christine Berliner moved to Cloverdale in August
of 2000. They previously lived in Martinsville, Indiana, where
they both taught in the Martinsville school system. Christine
and Howard are owners of Dino-Stor Storage in Greencastle
and Stonecraft Minerals, a wholesale mail-order mineral
business supplying caves, gift shops, and mineral collectors
throughout the world.
Both Christine and Howard believe strongly in the value of
higher education. Recognizing the need for highly skilled
scientists in the future, and knowing the financial burden that
a college education can carry, they decided to establish two
scholarships for graduating Cloverdale High School seniors
who intend to go to college to pursue a science career.
Lynn and Dave Bohmer were winners of the 2006 Spirit of Philanthropy Award, the highest
honor bestowed by the Community Foundation. In 2007, the couple established a donor
advised non-permanent charitable fund at the Community Foundation for the convenience
and administrative support it provides for their charitable giving. Through the Community
Foundation, the Bohmers support many of their favorite charities such as the United Way of
Putnam County, and the Greencastle/Putnam County Development Center.
Cloverdale Community School Corporation Endowment
Habitat for Humanity Endowment
Habitat for Humanity of Putnam County, Inc. brings people together to build decent,
affordable housing for people in need. Building an endowment with matching dollars from
the Community Foundation helps ensure Habitat for Humanity will be enabling neighbors
to help each other in Putnam County for years to come. The organization is an affiliate of
Habitat for Humanity International, which is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian housing
ministry, seeking to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to
make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.
Cindy and John Hennette Dental Scholarship Fund
John Hennette, a dentist, and his wife, Cindy, own and operate Greencastle Pediatric Dentistry. Through their work, the couple became
interested in assisting young people to pursue a career they have found to be so rewarding. Scholarships will be awarded to Putnam
County residents, pursuing education in dentistry or dental hygiene programs.
Robert and Kathryn Eccles Memorial Stewardship and Church
Growth Endowment
Taking advantage of the Community Foundation’s Endowment Builder Program, Gobin
Memorial United Methodist Church established a fourth endowment for the benefit of the Church
and memorialized a special couple in perpetuity. “Some of my parishioners are particularly
passionate about one aspect of the Church,” said PT Wilson, Pastor of Gobin. “The Church has
four endowments, each celebrating the lives of different people and supporting their various
interests. These endowments have become vitally important to the Church’s overall financial
health.”
Heritage Preservation Society Endowment
Founded in 1976 by Jack and Marian Cook, the mission of the Heritage Preservation Society is to
promote and preserve Putnam County homes, buildings, districts, and heritage which are of historic,
archeological, or architectural value. Further, the Society seeks to educate the public about these sites
and structures and to collect, preserve, and display records of their uses and of the people who were
active in their history. In 2007, the Society saved, disassembled, moved, and reconstructed a Putnam
County log home from the late 1800s to Cloverdale City Park for future generations to learn from and
enjoy. Lee Stewart spearheaded the initiative, and at the cabin’s dedication, he said, “This is a historic,
useful structure that connects past, present and future generations.” Building an endowment with
matching dollars from the Community Foundation ensures the Society will be connecting past, present
and future generations for years to come.

Toni Tomlinson and Michael Nees coordinate services provided through the Knoy
Resource Center. The Nees and the Tomlinson families share a common goal: the
success of students of the Cloverdale Community School Corporation
The Cloverdale Community School Corporation Endowment was founded by two local
families: the Nees and Tomlinson families. The Nees family has lived in the Cloverdale
area for generations. Like his father and grandfather before him, Michael Nees works in
the Cloverdale Community School Corporation. Tom and Toni Tomlinson moved from
Indianapolis in the early 1990s to give their children a better life in a small rural community,
similar to their own beginnings.
Ivy Tech Community College – Greencastle Campus Fund
Contributions to this fund will provide furnishings and equipment for the new facility.
The Community Foundation will match contributions from individuals dollar for dollar,
and contributions from corporations will be matched at 33%.
Ivy Tech Community College – Greencastle, Indiana Endowment
Contributions to this fund will provide student scholarships and other support for the
Greencastle Campus. The Community Foundation will match contributions at a rate
of $1 for every $2 dollars donated.
Bob and Jamie Jedele joined the Greencastle community in 1995, raising their four children and establishing Jedele Enterprises which owns
five McDonald’s franchises in central Indiana. In 2007, the couple established a donor-advised endowment at the Community Foundation for
the convenience and flexibility it provides for their charitable giving. The couple has many charitable interests and did not want to limit their
choices at this time.
2007 Annual Report
New funds established by Mary Louise Miller (June 6, 1909 to January 9, 2007)
12
Mary Louise Miller wanted to support causes she loved, rather than allowing state and federal governments make the
decisions for her. Her attorney was the first to alert Mary Lou to the fact that she “had a problem” that could be
helped with charitable gift planning. With planning and professional management of a charitable remainder trust,
Miss Miller was able to take care of herself throughout her long life, plus grow her assets, eventually allowing nine
charities to receive more than $1.3 million through the Putnam County Community Foundation! With her CRT,
Mary Lou established five new endowments, described below.
American Red Cross – Putnam County Unit Endowment
Mary Lou established an endowment for the Putnam County Unit of the American Red Cross to help ensure that people in Putnam
County would have help during times of crisis or disaster.
Mary Louise Miller Scholarship Endowment for DePauw University
Mary Lou taught at DePauw University from 1942 until her retirement in 1974. At DePauw, Mary Lou
headed the women’s physical education department from 1960 to 1974 and held the rank of full
professor from 1965 to 1974. The Community Foundation will ensure that scholarships are awarded
each year in perpetuity in Mary Lou’s name to a full-time female student at DePauw University.
Mary Louise Miller Scholarship Endowment for Heidelberg College
Mary Lou taught physical education and chemistry at Heidelberg College from 1935 to 1942. The Community Foundation will ensure
that scholarships are awarded each year in perpetuity in Mary Lou’s name to a full-time female student at Heidelberg College, Ohio.
Mary Louise Miller Scholarship Endowment for Rockford College
A 1930 graduate of Rockford College in Illinois, Mary Lou received her Master’s Degree
at the University of Wisconsin in 1935. The Community Foundation will ensure that
scholarships are awarded each year in perpetuity in Mary Lou’s name to a full-time female
student at Rockford College.
Second Congregational United Church of Christ Endowment
Born June 6, 1909, in Rockford, Illinois, Mary Lou was the daughter of M. Sumner and Harriet Miller. Although she had lived away
from her family’s church since 1930, Mary Lou faithfully stayed in contact, never failing to read the weekly church newsletter.
Through the endowment, the Community Foundation will continue to support Mary Lou’s family’s church in perpetuity.
Mary M. Moore Scholarship Endowment
for Indiana State University
Mary M. Moore graduated from Brazil High School in 1946 and became the first member of her family
to venture off to college. Beginning her college experience at Indiana Central College (now University
of Indianapolis), she earned a degree in elementary education in 1958 from Indiana State University
and taught school for 30 years. Although she retired from teaching in 1987, Ms. Moore has not lost
her love for education and her desire to help others learn and succeed. So, in 2005, she established
the Mary M. Moore Scholarship Fund to help financially-needy students attend the University of
Indianapolis. In 2007, she established a scholarship endowment to help students attend Indiana
State University.
Mary Murphey Nall Agricultural Scholarship
Although not yet a reality, a small group of visionary people established an account at the Community Foundation to collect and hold
contributions for a community and recreation center in the future.
Putnam County Memorial Endowment for Cancer Research
The Putnam County Memorial Cancer Research Fund was established by a Greencastle couple in memory of their daughter, who lost
her battle with cancer at a young age. The couple imagines the fund serving as a means for collecting, honoring, and preserving the
memories of loved ones who struggled to survive cancer, but also a means to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors. Grants from the
endowment will be awarded to cancer research institutions.
Putnam County Public Library Author Series Endowment
There is nothing quite like the experience of meeting the author of a great book or
hearing an author read in his or her own voice the story he has chosen to tell. In 2007,
with assistance of matching support from the Community Foundation, the Directors
of the Putnam County Public Library established an endowment to provide general
financial support for the Author Lecture Series of the Putnam County Public Library,
Greencastle, Indiana.
Linda K. and Steven R. Raines Endowment
Linda and Steve Raines retired from their careers as educators, but they have not retired from learning, traveling and being involved in the
community. In 2007, the couple established a donor-advised endowment at the Community Foundation for the convenience and flexibility it
provides for their charitable giving. The couple has a wide variety of interests and concerns and supports many different charities each year.
13
Putnam County Community and Recreation Center Fund
The Mary Murphey Nall Agricultural Scholarship was established by George and Elizabeth Murphey in honor of his late sister. Scholarship
recipients must be incoming freshmen or undergraduate students seeking a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture at Murray State University in
Graves County, Kentucky. Mr. Murphey and his family were originally from Graves County, Kentucky. In 1957, Greencastle was fortunate to
have the couple join the community, where they have been active contributors since their arrival.

2007 Funds, Grants & Scholarships
Each year, the Community Foundation ensures that endowments are administered and grants are
awarded as donors intended. The Community Foundation is the best local philanthropic resource
for individuals, families and organizations to make a difference. 2007 Community Foundation funds
and grants are listed alphabetically below.
Please note: The endowments and other funds administered by the Community Foundation might not make grants in a particular
year. There are a number of possible reasons for this, including donor recommendations, lack of a qualifying grantee or
candidate, giving an endowment time to earn for the future, etc.

It used to be if I answered the phone and heard a voice saying
something stupid, I knew it was my brother. If it were a Saturday,
he would tell me he was doing errands, shuttling his kids, coming
home from the movies or the golf course. His cell phone would lose
its signal, and then he’d call me back. If it were a day in January or
February, he would mention his birthday (in March) at least once,
possibly more. If he said he was coming home, I knew he meant
Greencastle.
Sometimes he would talk about his children; sometimes he would
talk about how his business had grown; sometimes he would talk
about the places he lived or visited. And sometimes he would talk
about home, about the stories we’d heard from our parents and
grandparents, about our ancestors who had come to Indiana more
than a century before we were born and turned wilderness into
thriving farms and towns.
And although we don’t make communities today in the same way
as in the 1800s, we do make them, and Rob was committed to
doing his part. He especially wanted to have a legacy at home,
that would both reflect and continue the values he’d been taught.

The Lyon Family Scholarship
Founded by Robert Lyon in 2003, the Lyon Family Scholarship
program seeks to increase the educational attainment and per
capita income of Putnam County residents. Renewable scholarships valued at up to $10,000 per year are awarded to Putnam
County adults and youth who wish to increase their marketability
in Putnam County by furthering their education at vocational
schools, community colleges, and traditional universities.
To say Rob was an avid learner would be an understatement, so
creating a program centered on education made the most sense
to him. He believed that educating individuals who live and work in
Putnam County would benefit the whole county. That was another
side of Rob: he insisted on getting the biggest bang for his buck.
Rob intended for the Lyon Family Scholarship program to outlive
him, but he also expected to have many years of involvement with
the Lyon Scholars. He was as interested in the candidates as he
was in his own children and friends. He looked forward to meeting
them and talking with them, and, I am sure, finding more ways to
help them. He was disappointed, last summer, not to make a trip
to Greencastle, and he was pleased and touched that his home
town honored his contributions with the Spirit of Philanthropy
Award.

Even though he left Putnam County, Putnam County never left
his heart. And even though Rob has left us, the continuation of
the Lyon Family Scholarship program ensures his spirit will never
leave.

Spirit of Philanthropy
Awarded to Robert Hayes Lyon
The Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship program is designed
to raise the level of educational attainment in Indiana, increase
awareness of Indiana’s community foundations, and improve the
quality of life of Indiana’s residents. The scholarship provides full
tuition, fees and a stipend for books and supplies, for four years
of undergraduate study at any accredited college or university in
Indiana. This prestigious merit scholarship was awarded to two
Putnam County students in 2007.
