News Release

WARSAW — The James Hall Family Legacy Fund was recently established at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation to meet the changing needs of Kosciusko County.

Alex Hall, vice president of programs at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation and the founder of the fund, said that his love of philanthropy began at an early age when he was chosen as an eighth-grader to participate in Kosciusko Endowment Youth Services, a youth philanthropy program at the Community Foundation. “KEYS really did change my life,” Hall said. “KEYS gave me something to be passionate about — the good work that nonprofits do for other people.”

“Through my role at the Community Foundation now, I have the opportunity to help nonprofits find resources and apply for funding,” said Hall. “I am honored to be able to give back in this new way through a fund that honors four generations of James Halls, three of which have called Kosciusko County their home.”

The donation qualified for a $2 to $1 match. Thanks to an opportunity offered by Lilly Endowment Inc., gifts to unrestricted/community endowment funds that support local needs may qualify to be matched $2 to $1. The match opportunity ends when the Kosciusko County Community Foundation raises $750,000.
