Valley Hometown Fund Seeking Grant Applications

The Advisory Board of the Valley Hometown Fund is seeking grant applications that will help make the Tippecanoe Valley community a better place.

Because of the generous donations by Tippecanoe Valley alumni – many of whom no longer live in the area – the Valley Hometown Fund was created to underwrite projects that benefit students in the Tippecanoe Valley schools and residents of the communities within the school district.

A Grantmaking Event of the Valley Hometown Fund (a fund of the Fulton County Community Foundation) will be held in the Mentone Elementary School Large Group Meeting Room on Tuesday, March 21, at 7:00 p.m.  At that time up to $3,000 will be granted to not-for-profit groups or organizations charitable in nature and based in the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation.  The projects selected will receive at least $100 in funding and possibly much more.

The 2017 Valley Hometown Fund Grant Application is available on the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation website (www.tvsc.k12.in.us) by clicking on “Quicklinks” at the top of the page.  All grant applications must be submitted to the TVSC Administration Office by no later than 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 1, to be considered.

The mission of the Valley Hometown Fund is to connect Tippecanoe Valley alumni with their schools and hometowns in support of education and community development.  The Valley Hometown Fund Advisory Board is a group of Tippecanoe Valley alumni and current students working to connect with the alumni of Tippecanoe Valley High School and the previous high schools based in the school district in an effort to give back to the Tippecanoe Valley community.

Questions may be directed to Superintendent Brett Boggs at 574-598-2767 or boggsb@tvsc.k12.in.us.
