Parke County Community Foundation For Good... For Ever... For Parke County The Foundation’s approach to planned giving offers a number of important financial benefits to donors.

The Parke County Community Foundation is a tax-exempt public charity that allows-community minded individuals, through gifts and bequests, to establish a variety of permanent endowment funds under the umbrella of one foundation. The income from these separate funds allows a community to respond to emerging needs and opportunities as well as impact its future. Part of what makes Parke County a spec

Local donors and their connections to innovative nonprofit work have created a special community culture, a place where many are served and many give.

🎓 Lilly Scholar Spotlight: Gabriela Campbell 🎓

We’re excited to catch up with our 2022 Lilly Endowment Community Scholar, Gabriela Campbell! 💙

Gabriela recently graduated cm laude from Butler University, where her college journey took an exciting turn. After beginning as a biomedical engineering major, she discovered a passion for mathematics that led her to change her path, dive into undergraduate research, and gain valuable experience as both a researcher and math educator.

During her time at Butler, Gabriela conducted research in physical chemistry and mathematics, participated in the SIMCODES Research Experience for Undergraduates at Iowa State University, and was awarded Butler’s Prem Sharma Award for Excellence in Mathematical Research. 🏆📚

But research wasn’t her only passion. Through tutoring and teaching, Gabriela discovered how much she loved math education. This ultimately inspired her next chapter!

This spring, Gabriela accepted a full-time graduate teaching assistant position at Iowa State University, where she will continue her education while pursuing her passion for mathematics and teaching. 🌟

Reflecting on her experience, Gabriela shared:

“My time at Butler was integral to where I am today. I got to meet so many wonderful people and found true joy in my academic pursuits. Thank you to the Parke County Community Foundation for giving me the opportunity to receive such a wonderful education.”

We are so proud to see where Gabriela’s journey has taken her since receiving the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship in 2022, and we can’t wait to see what comes next! Congratulations, Gabriela! 💙🎓
