The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County, Inc. The Community Foundation encourages philanthropy and enhances the quality of life in our community. The Community Foundation of Muncie & Delaware County, Inc.

was established in 1985 as the result of a challenge from the Ball Foundation and Ball family members. In the years that followed, we grew to become a vital philanthropic partner in the community. Today we manage an endowed asset base of over $55 million. We use this asset base to award grants to local nonprofit organizations that provide a range of services in Muncie and throughout Delaware County. However, needs and opportunities in the community continually surpass our means, and we rely on donors to continue our vital work.

The 2026 edition of our annual Professional Advisors Seminar
was a success!

The charitable giving landscape continues to evolve, making it more important than ever for donors to discuss their philanthropic goals with trusted advisors.

To support those conversations, The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County recently hosted its annual Professional Advisors Seminar featuring nationally recognized speaker Phil Purcell.

More than 25 local attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors attended to learn about current charitable giving and estate planning strategies.

By staying informed on changing laws and giving opportunities, these local professionals are better equipped to help clients maximize the impact of their charitable gifts, both during their lifetimes and through their estates.

Thank you to Courtyard by Marriott Muncie at Horizon Convention Center for hosting this year's event.

In 2025, reductions in federal SNAP assistance and increasing economic pressures created new challenges for many individuals and families in our community.

The Yorktown Farmers Market found a unique way to answer the call. The organization launched the Community Cares Cash program, an innovative local solution designed to help families access fresh, healthy food. Eligible individuals receive $20 token bags that can be used to purchase SNAP-eligible items from vendors at the Market, allowing household food budgets to stretch farther by reducing or negating the cost of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables.

With a support grant from The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County, the program continues to grow, aided by partnerships with REACH Yorktown, the Yorktown Trustee's Office, local churches, and other community organizations.

Yorktown Farmers Market is helping today’s families thrive, paving the way for a more resilient future.

October 8th marks a nationwide campaign bringing attention to DAFs – Donor Advised Funds.

Donor Advised Funds are powerful tools that help people make strategic giving decisions. When you open a DAF at The Community Foundation, you partner with the Foundation and commit to staying engaged in philanthropy. As a DAF holder, you actively inform where grants from your fund go.

For example, friends of the Foundation and longtime fund holders Steve and Barbara Smith regularly use their DAF to support various Muncie organizations, including the ones pictured!
