Legacy Fund of Hamilton County, an affiliate of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, awarded $103,000 in grants and $6,800 in Legacy Fund Community Scholarships to four area students on March 12.

The grants and scholarships were made possible by Legacy Fund’s Community Endowment Fund, and also The Sheridan Fund and The Noblesville Fund, which contributed $2,000 and $5,000 respectively to city-specific grants.

The community endowment is an “unrestricted” fund created by donors with an interest in supporting Hamilton County; The Sheridan and Noblesville funds were created by each city in order to focus on city-specific issues.

Grants awards included $50,000 to support – and continue the county-wide expansion of – the Hamilton County Youth Assistance Programs in 2014 and $45,000 to address community-wide issues including domestic violence, cancer support, sexual abuse, low- and moderate-income housing, medical and dental support for under- and un-insured residents and a community food pantry.
