Description
The Community Benches (Pookie and Gracie Endowment) is a Field of Interest fund administered by the Community Foundation of Greater Lafayette. It supports nonprofit organizations providing benches in public spaces in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. Its purpose is narrowly focused on community benches rather than a broader range of community improvement projects.
The Foundation awards Field of Interest grants based on need, with each request required to align with the purpose of the relevant endowment. This funding category can support capital or program items under the endowment’s terms. For Community Benches, the supported work must serve the fund’s specific local purpose: providing benches in public places within the county.
