Uniting people, organizations, and philanthropy to create a thriving community for all.
Founded in 1991 by a group of caring and passionate Boone County residents, an initial amount of $15,000, and funds from Lilly Endowment Inc. with the goal of building resources that would benefit nonprofits and residents of Boone County forever. Today, CFBC holds more than $32 million in assets and has granted more than $30 million to nonprofit organizations and programs working to solve critical challenges in Boone County.
We engage the community and educate citizens on how they can make a difference here at home.
We invest in the people, programs, and organizations that transform lives and communities.
We lead a vision for collaborative solutions to address the root causes of challenges facing our community in diverse and equitable ways.
2023 was an impactful year for us. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, our net assets exceeded $32 million for the first time in our 33-year history, and we received more than $770,000 in philanthropic contributions.
Our staff and board members are dedicated to fostering positive change and community growth. Their commitment and passion are instrumental in driving impactful initiatives and making meaningful contributions to our community.
We have a strong group of community partners and volunteers who support our Staff and Board to make everything we do possible. Looking ahead, we are excited about the path in front of us!

A group of concerned citizens was worried about animal welfare, so they started the Humane Society for Boone County in 2007… from scratch. It was the help and guidance from the Community Foundation of Boone County that helped the organization continue to search out additional revenue streams to help grow the capacity of volunteers, and be able to reach out and do more in the community.
“It’s important for every nonprofit to develop and maintain a good relationship with CFBC,” says Austin. “They are the biggest compiler of all nonprofit resources in the county and provide so many different tools for nonprofits to use as they’re working through grants or processes. They are constantly trying to develop and enhance and continue to grow in the county.”
“I can’t say thank you enough, Community Foundation of Boone County, for your support and the tool set you bring and provide for local nonprofits.”
Boone County Nonprofit Network offers opportunities to connect and collaborate with nonprofit peers serving Boone County.
In 2023, the Boone County Nonprofit Network was joined by 125 attendees, who came together to learn, collaborate, and network together on the topics of Connect Boone County, Grantwriting, Fundraising & Fundraisers, and Human Resources.
Connect Boone County (CBC) stemmed off our 2019 community needs assessment, when residents told us what they like about living in Boone County and what they see as our greatest needs. Top needs varied widely town to town, but one item hit home for all—disconnection. The needs assessment process showed us that people craved to come together. Residents and nonprofit organizations wanted to collaborate. They all wanted to connect. Hence, the creation of Connect Boone County.
Since its inception in 2021, more than 300 volunteer and donation opportunities have been listed on Connect Boone County by Boone County-serving nonprofits. CFBC continues to develop new relationships through Connect Boone County. Community partners, old and new, understand and value the importance of CBC as a tool to bring our community together. We are encouraged to see the growth of this program and look forward to seeing the progress we will make in 2024. You can help us develop Connect Boone County by sharing it with your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers—anyone who wants to help locally!
Women of Impact Boone County is a philanthropic women’s group designed to provide financial support for local nonprofit organizations, while creating a sense of community. Each member donates annually— the amount based on the membership type—to support the four nonprofits selected by the members throughout the year.
Joining Women of Impact is a commitment to bettering our community, together. Each member’s donation is not just money—it’s creating ripple effects in our community.
Jennifer has been a member of Women of Impact Boone County since the group’s inception in 2017 and says it’s the most rewarding thing she has been a part of. “I tell everyone it’s my four favorite times of the year. We come together, hear from nonprofits, pick the nonprofit, and make a grant decision in one hour.”
“If you’re not yet a member of Women of Impact, my question to you is, why not? Make the financial commitment, join with your bestie if you want, and then join us for the four greatest nights of the year!”

Established in 1996, the Aaron Stookey Spirit of Philanthropy Fund is named after Aaron Stookey to recognize individuals or businesses in our community who are exemplary in their philanthropic activities. The recipient then names a nonprofit organization to receive a grant from the fund. Elmer Parks was named the 2023 Aaron Stookey Spirit of Philanthropy Award Recipient.
“Elmer spent countless hours leading others; counseling employees and friends in times of trouble, pain, and suffering; mentoring young people who just needed a friend; and giving generously in ways that made a difference in many lives. Elmer never pursued fame or notoriety but lived life joyously. He did things for others quietly and without fanfare, which were life-changing for many.” In his honor, Elmer’s family awarded a grant to Boone County Mentoring Partnership.
The Lionel Dubay Youth Sports Award was established in 1993 by Lionel Dubay‘s wife Gwen, his friends, and community donations to continue his legacy. Lionel was a vital parent and supporter of youth sports in Zionsville. Every year, this award recognizes someone who has made an ongoing commitment to Zionsville youth sports, who then names a nonprofit youth sports organization to receive a grant from the fund. Andrew Manna was named the 2023 Lionel Dubay Youth Sports Award Recipient.
“Zionsville is lucky to count Andrew Manna as one of its many servant leaders working toward providing a positive and foundational experience to all youth athletes. Manna has modeled the way so clearly for all who follow in his footsteps, allowing each of us to achieve more. Because of him, we can cheer louder, throw farther, block better and score more. But more than that, we can call ourselves one team. One Zionsville. One Football Town. We are lucky to nominate him.” Manna selected the Zionsville Football Club as the grant recipient.

As a Latina first-generation college student, Wendy Deras navigated the process of applying to college, filling out the FAFSA, finding an apartment to live in, and more, on her own. When applying for schools, she knew there would be a chance that she got accepted and wouldn’t be able to attend due to finances—until she received the Eugene O. & William Higgins Scholarship from the Community Foundation of Boone County. “The scholarship gave me hope. My fear slowly faded knowing that I didn’t have to do it alone.”
Wendy was named a Eugene O. & William Higgins Scholarship recipient in 2020. She credits this scholarship as the reason she was able to get a four-year degree, as opposed to going to community college until she could save enough money to go to a four-year school. “Thanks to the Eugene O. & Williams Higgins Scholarship, I’m able to invest my time on activities that fill my soul and help me pursue my passion for helping others by volunteering, pursuing research, and helping at clinics. Every semester, this scholarship pays my tuition and, coming from a big family with two parents who work so hard to provide a fruitful life for my sisters and me, we are appreciative of the financial burden it relieves.”
Being a scholarship recipient has made Wendy value the importance of her work more, and she is dedicated to making Boone County proud of her as the chosen recipient. She has pride knowing she’s representing the Boone County community with her leadership and efforts to pursue a higher education. She appreciates knowing the community views her education as an investment.
“I will be the first in my family to pursue a higher education, the first in my family to show women that they belong in science, and the first in my family who will have a white collar job. And I am proud of that! Latinos are meant to exist in higher education and I want to be a testament to the fact that we can not only exist in these spaces, but we can thrive in them.”
Wendy will graduate May 2024 with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Social Science and Medicine. She plans to take a gap year to do biomedical research and will begin applying to M.D./Ph.D programs this upcoming May, in hopes of studying to be an OB/GYN with a Ph.D. in HPV or HIV biomedical research. Wendy’s advice to future applicants and recipients is to take every opportunity given to you, because you will never know if you are ready for something until you are experiencing it.
“If you are in a situation where you feel like you are unworthy of your education and like you don’t belong, remember that if you did not deserve to be there, you wouldn’t have been given the opportunity.”
Tate had a passion for music and the Eugenio’s wanted an opportunity to continue to celebrate Tate and his memory, as well as bring awareness to the issues of mental health and mental illness.
Last year, Tate’s mother, Angie Eugenio coordinated the local event, Music 2 Heal, which showcased the local talent of bands and soloists, while also raising awareness of mental illness. All of the bands had friends of Tate in them. It was an incredible three-hour evening full of talent and gave three nonprofits the opportunity to raise awareness of mental illness: American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, National Alliance of Mental Illness, and Zionsville Alliance for Mental Wellness (ZAMWELL).
Eugenio, who is also the Fund Advisor for the Tate Eugenio Memorial Scholarship Fund said, “The Community Foundation of Boone County is a great resource for us and they’ve been wonderful to work with, incredibly compassionate, and their kindness and their hearts are so evident in their work.”
“Anytime I get to do something in memory of Tate is a gift for me. By honoring other upcoming students through Tate’s scholarship, I think that will help his name continue to be a part of this community.”

It’s what we do at the Community Foundation of Boone County. We receive gifts from people all over this county we call home. We invest those gifts so they grow and maximize the resources we have to support the many nonprofits that help Boone County thrive.
Our endowed funds are invested to preserve the original value of these gifts and grow our assets over time. We employ a moderate growth strategy in which 60% are invested in equities, 20% in fixed income vehicles, and 20% in liquid alternatives. Our investment strategy has produced excellent results for Boone County in both stable and unstable markets spanning three decades.

Consistent with prior years and observing industry best practices, the Community Foundation of Boone County engaged the services of Estep Burkey Simmons to perform an audit of the records and 2023 financial statements. The Community Foundation of Boone County will submit a 2023 Form 990, which the IRS requires us to file annually. Form 990 gives the IRS an overview of the organization’s activities, governance, and detailed financial information. Audited financials and 990s are available on our website at www.communityfoundationbc.org or upon request from the CFBC office.
