5/6/2016 Starke United Fund Deadline

Starke United Fund Deadline May 6
  • Starke United Fund established at the Community Foundation in 2012.
  • Total awarded in designated funds: $17,124
  • Total in grant dollars awarded: $42,804
  • Total in Indiana Association of United Way dollars for Starke County: $11,500

Starke United Fund grants are due to a partnership with Starke United and the Community Foundation. It was created to provide a more efficient way to assist Starke County’s charitable agencies.
"The Starke United Fund provides a good part of the local funding dollars that support charitable organizations in our community," said Sandy Kersting-Rudd, Chair of the Starke United Fund Grant Committee. "Each year the committee reviews applications that touch many lives in Starke County."

Dollars for these grants are raised by people who make an undesignated donation to the Starke United Fund through payroll deductions, direct giving, or through fundraising events sponsored by the Starke United Fund Committee. One such event is a yearly golf outing held in June at the Hamlet Golf Course.  

Starke United Fund grants are made possible through a partnership with Starke United and the Starke County Community Foundation, a relationship that began in 2012. This partnership provides an efficient way for Starke United to assist charitable agencies, and allows donors who support Starke United to continue making a positive impact. The Starke United Fund Grant Committee is made up of the former Starke United board members.
