The Wabash Valley Community Foundation had the privilege of working with three interns during the spring semester who were with us through the generous support of the Lilly Endowment Community Foundation Intern Initiative. We thank them for their hard work and wish them all the best. Carolyne Holcomb was our special events intern. She helped plan our 2011 Designated and Agency Grant Awards and our Community Expo. Carolyne finished her internship with the Foundation just in time to compete in the Miss Indiana Pageant at the end of June. Her career plans are contingent on the results of the competition. Holly Sears served as our public relations/journalism intern, handling media relations for many of our events, developing the material, putting together packets, and contacting the media about upcoming events. Holly has now moved to San Francisco and works for Edelman, an independent public relations firm. Mark Ellis served since June 2010 as our audit and financial forecasting intern. He helped compile and organize all the material needed to have the Foundation meet recertification standards on ethics. Mark also helped with finances and forecasting, giving detailed presentations on financial forecasting to our Board of Directors. Mark now works in Fishers, Indiana, as a systems engineer for ORS, Inc., a medical software design company. Interns can apply for 2011-2012 The Lilly Endowment Community Foundation Intern Initiative is a pilot program that makes it possible for Indiana community foundations to engage paid interns from Indiana colleges and universities. Students interested in interning with the Foundation during the 2011-2012 academic year should submit their application, cover letter and reference list. They can find the application at www.wvcf.com. A Vote of Confidence The Wabash Valley Community Foundation voted the 2011 Best Not for Profit Organization.

The Better Together Grant initiative was announced in 2009 to encourage collaboration between two or more local nonprofits that focus on similar community issues. The first two "Better Together" grants of $25,000 each were awarded in March to Partners Advancing Literacy Skills (PALS) and the Court Ordered Placement for Education (C.O.P.E.) The C.O.P.E. program is a court administered alternative to outof-school suspension. It was developed through a partnership between the Clay Community Schools, the Clay County Circuit Court, the Clay County Prosecutor, the Clay County Community Corrections and the Clay County Sheriff’s Department. The program is comprised of supervised educational activities, behavior modification/skill building activities and community service work crew projects. The goal is to ensure that children in Clay County attend school, remain safe and receive a good education. The Wabash Valley Community Foundation was delighted to support these two partnerships focused on improving education.
