  1. GUIDING VALUES • The Elkhart County Community Foundation will maintain an openness to all community ideas and requests from not-for-profit organizations (NPO’s) serving the citizens of Elkhart County. However, based on the findings of the Community Listening Tour the foundation will also focus and prioritize resources around transformative grant making in the areas of youth developmentand quality of place. • The Elkhart County Community Foundation will preserve community volunteers as the leadersand decision makers in the grant process. We desire that the community retain ownership of the community foundation. The foundation staff will build and support the administrative systems our volunteers need to guide the organization. • The Elkhart County Community Foundation will play an active role of support to our Elkhart County based not-for-profit organizations. Resources will be dedicated to coaching, peer-learning and professional development opportunities for those working in these organizations.

  2. GUIDING VALUES • (continued) • The Elkhart County Community Foundation will play a quiet but influential role within the community. For the most part we want community ideas to develop at the grassroots level which will allow ECCF to “lead from behind”by partnering with community members passionate about a particular cause. • The Elkhart County Community Foundation and our not-for-profit partners will work together to become learning organizations. We will use data and evidence to inform our activity and decision makingin a collaborative way. • Finally, the Elkhart County Community Foundation aspires to encourage generosity and volunteerism in our community. Opportunities and programs that inspire acts of volunteerism and generosityacross the community will be highly valued.
