Our Story
In the late 1980s, visionary leaders in Adams County came together to establish a community foundation aimed at connecting generous donors with vital community services. Inspired by the Portland, Jay County Foundation and supported by the Lilly Endowment Foundation, the Adams County Community Foundation was officially incorporated in 1991. This foundation serves as a bridge between donors and the community, providing tax-deductible advantages while enhancing the lives of Adams County residents through scholarships and grants.
