The Rising Together Grants are the signature grantmaking program of the “Let’s Rise!” Vision Plan. These general operating grants of up to $50,000 align with the vision plan’s five pillars and are funded through the Paul Clarke Endowment and the Community Impact Fund. The Everyone’s Economy Pillar is focused on creating an economy where everyone has the opportunity for upward mobility and increased security and is motivated to achieve their goals. Examples of groups that fit this are workforce development, housing, and basic needs. Thirteen organizations received grants totaling $324,625.
Those organizations include:
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Fort Wayne
Just Neighbors Interfaith Homeless Network
Lutheran Social Services of Indiana
Mustard Seed Furniture Bank of Fort Wayne
