Generosity is more than a gift. It’s something we can pass down to the next generation. 💚

This Fund Friday, we’re featuring the Alan, Jenni, John & Spencer Dunn Community Fund, established to support Carroll County while inspiring a legacy of giving within the Dunn family.

For Alan and Jenni, creating an unrestricted fund was about more than supporting worthy projects. It was also an opportunity to show their sons the importance of philanthropy and giving back.

Through this fund, their generosity can continue making a difference as Carroll County’s needs and opportunities change over time.

And right now, you can help that impact grow! Through the Lilly Endowment GIFT Match, every $1 donated receives an additional $2, tripling your gift.

In this edition of Foundation 101, we’re following the journey of generosity, from the moment a gift is made to the opportunities it creates throughout Howard, Clinton and Carroll Counties.

We’re also revisiting the story of Mike Tetrault, featured in our 2025 Annual Report. From receiving a scholarship to giving back to the place he calls home, Mike’s journey is a reminder that the impact of generosity can come full circle.

Whether it supporting local nonprofits, providing scholarships or investing in future needs, your gift has the potential to make a difference long after it’s given.
