The two were instant friends, sharing stories and laughs, hopes and dreams. When the Community Foundation scholarship committees select recipients, great care is taken to make selections that best fit the award for which the student is being chosen. Never have these efforts been more apparent than the day Pat and Erika met. Back in 2002, with what she called, “not a huge amount of money,” Pat honored her parents by creating the Albert and Freda Eder DeCoursey Scholarship Fund in the Clay County Community Foundation. “I really wanted the scholarship to stay with the same person throughout the years he or she was getting a degree,” Pat said. Erika was the third recipient of the DeCoursey Scholarship, which she was awarded for all four of her years at DePauw University. The Clay County resident graduated this past spring with a degree in music and was hired as band director and general music teacher for South Vermillion Middle and High School. The DeCoursey Scholarship is for a graduate of a Clay County high school planning to pursue a degree in art or music. It seemed like a miracle to Pat that two of the DeCoursey scholars, Ellis Gebert (2003-2007) and Erika, became band masters, as this was the vocation that Pat's mother, Freda, had cherished for many years. Freda retired in 1972 after 26 years with the Staunton/Posey Township schools. There she “built a good music program grade by grade,” Pat said. Husband Albert loved music and supported Freda’s efforts. Pat set up the scholarship for a student studying the creative or performing arts or arts education. “Meeting Erika was a delight,” Pat said. “It was wonderful to see a young person with a passion like my mother’s to be a music educator. I’m so glad I could have a small part in her Erika Matson and Pat (DeCoursey) Cercos education, in doing what my parents would have wanted me to do.” Erika was equally complimentary about her benefactor. “Pat is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met,” she said. “She’s very interested in what I’m going to be doing with the students and wants me to keep in touch. One thing that makes her so amazing is that she wants to do even more, and for me she’s already done so much!” Kelli Miller, the Foundation's program director, arranged the meeting, where Erika was able to thank Pat personally. “I was grateful for the DeCoursey scholarship because it allowed me to spend more time studying and doing all the extra things I needed to do to succeed as a student, instead of spending so much of my time working,” she explained. Pat praised the staff at the Community Foundation for its part in making her charitable goals a reality. “Working with the Community Foundation is wonderful,” she explained. “They keep us well-informed about their work. The decisions are made by local volunteers. And I know my money is being well managed with professionalism and ethics.” 2901 Ohio Boulevard, Suite 153, Terre Haute, Indiana 47803 812.232.2234 wvcf.com 2013 Lilly Endowment Community Scholars Trevor Burch, North Central High School, attends Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology where he is studying Computer Science.

Board Sets New Policy for Large Grant Requests The Board of Directors of the Wabash Valley Community Foundation recently approved a policy statement that governs applications for large grants. This policy addresses grant requests in excess of $30,000, as well as most requests in support of capital funds campaigns. such requests that provide matching funds for endowments. The policy states that deadlines for receiving applications for large grants are the same as for other grants (June 1 and November 1) and that these applicants will compete equally with all other applicants. The Board considered that these requests, while representing a significant investment in the community, also represent a considerable portion of the funds available for distribution by the Foundation in any given year. Any organization considering applying for a large grant or matching grant is encouraged to contact the Foundation as soon as possible in its planning process. Such early contacts might allow the Foundation’s staff to advise how the application might be structured so that it is within the scope of the Foundation’s granting resources. Please direct questions to Executive Director Beth Tevlin at 812-232-2234. In general, the policy: 1) sets a cap on capital campaign requests at $30,000 or 10% of the total amount being sought in the campaign, whichever is lesser; and 2) gives preference to 2 Tear Off Form Here Ruth Hallam Joins the Foundation Staff Ruth Hallam has joined the Community Foundation staff as administrative assistant.
