HCCF was excited to present a $60,000 Community Support grant to Hendricks Live! last week to continue our partnership in bringing the "Opening Doors" series to our community for the next three years.

Through this collaboration with Hendricks Live! and The Republican Newspaper, Opening Doors celebrates the unique and often profound stories of those who live and work right here in Hendricks County. This grant will ensure the series continues with 3-4 programs each year, reflecting our shared commitment to building a more inclusive, connected, and compassionate community.

We’re able to support this and other vital programming thanks to thoughtful donors who represent the very best Hendricks County has to offer. Together, we are making sure these powerful local voices have a stage to be heard.

Thank you, Hendricks Live!, for the amazing work you do to keep us inspired!

When was the last time you asked a friend "How are you?" and waited for the real answer?

May is Mental Health Awareness month and mental health advocacy starts with the conversations we have at our kitchen tables and in our breakrooms. It’s about creating a culture where no one feels they have to struggle alone.

Let's build a community that thrives together. Check out the link below to see how you can help shape mental health policy and support your friends and neighbors.

Our partnership with the Parks Foundation of Hendricks County (PFOHC) is about making our community a better place to live and play. By awarding PFOHC an annual strategic grant as well as other unrestricted grants, HCCF helps provide the resources they need to fund important local projects that might otherwise go overlooked.

Whether it is improving a local trail or expanding educational programming, these funds help ensure our public spaces remain welcoming and vibrant. Together we are building a stronger, more connected Hendricks County.
