In March we had a great amount of topics to talk about. Firstly, we told about our activities.Central Indiana Community Foundation and Legacy Fund as its affiliate are involved and interested in collecting data about real number of high school graduates who attend post-secondary opportunities.
The Department of the Treasury recently released an anticipated report mandated by Congress on Donor Advised Funds (DAF) and Supporting Organizations. The Council on Foundation's (COF) has issued a short summary showing how it affects You.
Legacy Fund now supports the charity started by Carmel Financial. The company and employees raise and give money to give perishable food items to the Good Samaritan Network. This year they might break 100,000 items. Take a look at this month's event (baked potato day) and what employees think. Legacy Fund works with several companies to focus their giving.
Among the main events which we attended in March were The 2012 Hamilton County Girl Scout Luncheon, The Hamilton North Chamber on Big Ideas for Small Businesses by Bedel Financial Consulting.
Several new videos appeared on our blog this month about the partnership with Shepherd’s Center for helping elderly people in Indiana, YMI (mentoring that can change kids’ world), short interview with Tracey Sheehan, President of Carmel Financial, about Legacy Fund and more.
In our new column Charity Highlight we posted articles taken from "The Chronicle of Philanthropy" and "Indianapolis Business Journal" telling about Billionaires and Giving, Philanthropy in Britain, Baseball’s Lessons on Promoting Social Change, the Reasons Use a Community Foundation and other.
We also continued discussing the important topics of Grain Gifts, the benefits of giving for farmers and smart giving through saving taxes.
Thanks our readers for staying with us!
