2014 Annual Report - Kosciusko County Community Foundation

2014 Annual Report
Home
Letter from
the President
Home is my favorite place. It’s
where I spend the most time
with the ones I love. It’s wearing
comfortable clothes, eating great
food, playing games, laughing,
teaching and learning (sometimes
the hard way).
In this year’s annual report, our
donors and grantees share what
home means to them. The people featured in these
pages live in busy homes filled with the noises of
raising children, in assisted living communities and
on family farms, in lake cottages and the homeless
shelter. Regardless of where they live, many of their
definitions of “home” carry common themes: love,
security and belonging.
Our home is Kosciusko County, and we desire to
make this community a place where all residents can
feel a sense of belonging, be secure, and experience
life to its fullest. Our grantmaking reflects this desire.
For some families in our community, help with food
and housing stability is necessary. For others, the
chance to experience art, theater and music is what
makes life richer. For some people, having a place
to enjoy the outdoors is important. For many young
people, the opportunity to have an excellent education
and learn skills they can use locally means they can
continue to make Kosciusko County home – perhaps
raising their own families here someday.
We are honored to be home to over 300 funds
entrusted to us by local donors who share a desire
to continuously improve the quality of life for people
in Kosciusko County and beyond. If you have a
charitable dream, we would love for it to live here.
Sincerely,
Jerry Yeager
Board President

Eva Kor
Never Take Home
for Granted
On March 25, 2014, a capacity crowd of 3,000 middle
school students filled the Manahan Orthopedic Capital
Center at Grace College to hear Eva Kor’s first person
account of surviving the Auschwitz Death Camp and
the medical experiments of Nazi Dr. Josef Mingele on
Eva and her identical twin sister, Miriam.
Middle school students listen in rapt attention as Eva
Kor tells her story of surviving Auschwitz and of her
decision to forgive those who murdered her family and
hurt her.
Later that night, another capacity crowd of community
members came to hear Eva speak. Eva detailed how
her family was forced from their home when she was
10-years-old. Later, Eva and Miriam would be ripped
from their mother’s arms as they arrived at Auschwitz.
Eva and Miriam never saw their mother, father or
sisters again.
The heart of Eva’s message to the audience was to
forgive. Eva said she was able to forgive the Nazis,
even Dr. Mengele who performed many terrible
experiments on her.
“Don’t pass on that family legacy (abuse and
unforgiveness) to your children and grandchildren.
Heal yourself…It is not that complicated…What do
you have to lose? Your pain,” Eva said.
The Eva Kor event was made possible, in large part,
by grants from our Community Funds and from a
donor advised fund.

Elementary teacher whose dream it was to bring Eva
Kor to Warsaw to speak to students.

Community Support –
A Family and Business Tradition
One summer night in 1975, 21-year-old Lorraine
Albert attended the Leesburg Days ice cream
social with her parents. Her family sat at the same
table as John Anglin, Jr. Lorraine had
seen John before. Her dad delivered grain
to the Clunette Elevator, which was owned
and operated by the Anglin Family. But
that night, John and Lorraine talked and
got to know each other a bit. John asked
Lorraine if he could take her to a chicken
barbeque the next night. She said yes.
By August of that summer, Lorraine and
John were engaged. They were married
that November.
In 1992, tragedy struck the Anglin family when
15-year-old Jeremiah and his friend Mike Bishop
both died in an automobile accident. The community
outpouring, especially from the farming
community, was strong. The 4-H Junior
Leaders established a memorial garden at
the fairgrounds in honor of the boys.
In 2009, John Anglin, Sr. (John Jr.’s father
and Jeremiah’s grandfather) used the
grant dollars from a Heart of Gold award
in his honor to establish the Jeremiah
J. Anglin Memorial Fund, which was
designed to support causes that Jeremiah
cared about.

of service to the agricultural community through
the Clunette Elevator (Gabe and Jessica co-own
the elevator with Tom Anglin). They buy and sell
corn and soybeans from farmers from Kosciusko
and surrounding counties. They also provide crop
protection products and crop nutrients. More than just
a business, the Clunette Elevator is an integral part of
the community. The elevator supports young people
and agricultural education through 4-H and FFA.
Community Foundation to a participating elevator. The
elevator sells the grain for the Foundation and sends
the proceeds of that sale to benefit the Ag Cares
Fund. The Community Foundation sends the farmer
a gift receipt for tax purposes. Each gift of grain helps
the Foundation support causes that matter to the Ag
community – food programs, Ag education and youth.
“Home means more now (since John passed away),”
said Lorraine. “Home is where memories are made…
it’s where you sit down for dinner with your family…
it’s where you enjoy traditions like Sunday
night popcorn. Home is a place that is safe
and secure.”

Our thanks to the Anglin Family
and to Clunette Elevator for

“home,” a more generous, more
thriving, more youth and
farm-friendly place
to live.

Dr. and Mrs. William Male
Making a Home for Grace College’s Center
for Seminary and Graduate Studies
Dr. William (Bill) Male began working when he was
very young, first in his family’s bakery and then in his
father’s frozen pastry business. In high school, the
young entrepreneur even established a small printing
business, which he sold after graduation. Bill’s earliest
jobs included building boats, newspaper publication,
and plastics molding.
In 1948, Bill, who was 21-years-old, helped his
grandfather pick up a calf from a farmer. While there,
Bill saw a beautiful girl, Ella, the farmer’s daughter.
She was feeding the barn cats when Bill first
noticed her. He saw Ella again when she was
singing in the church choir. Soon after,
they began spending time together.
business college studies. After dropping Ella off
at school, Bill had a remarkable drive back home.
Remarkable, because he had an overwhelming sense
that despite his strong work ethic and entrepreneurial
spirit, he was not living a purposeful life. During that
drive home, he felt a certainty that God wanted to use
his life to help others. So dramatic was this sense that
Bill applied the very next morning to Western Michigan
College in Kalamazoo. He wasn’t sure what God was
On Labor Day evening of
1948, Bill drove Ella from
Mendon, Michigan
to Fort Wayne,
Indiana to
begin her

calling him to do, but he felt certain he would need a
college degree to do it.
Turns out, Bill didn’t earn one but four college
degrees. The first degree was a Bachelor of Arts from
Western Michigan. The second was a degree from
Grace Theological Seminary. The third was a Master’s
degree in Psychology from Temple University. Finally,
Bill earned a PhD from Indiana University.
Bill and Ella got married just before Bill’s third year
at Western Michigan. Shortly after graduation from
Grace, Bill and Ella and their first-born daughter
moved to Philadelphia to pastor the First Brethren
Church. While in Philadelphia, Bill and Ella welcomed
two more daughters.
In 1959, after four years pastoring in Philadelphia, the
Males moved to Winona Lake where he joined the
faculty of Grace Theological Seminary. In 1961, their
youngest daughter was born completing Bill and Ella’s
“all-girl Male quartet.”
Bill served Grace Schools for 34 years, holding a
variety of positions, among them: Academic Dean of
the College and Dean of the Seminary.
Bill and Ella have used the Kosciusko County
Community Foundation for much of their charitable
giving since 1996, when they established the Bill
and Ella Male Charitable Fund. This advised fund
allows the Males to recommend grants to charities
that align with their values. They enjoy including their
daughters in grant recommendations. This year,
they recommended a major gift to Grace College &
Seminary that was used to purchase the seminary
building, now named the “William Male Center for
Seminary and Graduate Studies.”
Dr. and Mrs. Male consider their recent financial gift
to Grace College & Seminary to be not just a gift, but
an investment in the college and seminary and in the
lives of students. Investing in the lives of others has
been a passion of Dr. Male ever since that fateful
drive home from Fort Wayne in 1948.
He and Ella agree that serving and
giving has brought great joy into
their lives. They are thrilled to
have passed on that legacy
to their daughters and
their families.
Dr. and Mrs. Male advised a grant from the Bill and Ella Male
Charitable Fund at the Community Foundation to Grace College
& Seminary for the purchase of the building that now houses the
William Male Center for Seminary and Graduate Studies.

Jenny Bynum is a resident of Fellowship Missions, which received a grant from the Kosciusko REMC
Operation Round Up Fund for furniture for their new homeless shelter located on Winona Avenue.
time, however, a degenerative condition made it
difficult for her to be physically active. Then, she lost
her job. The combined job loss and daily pain marked
a chapter of “life going downhill.”
Jenny was no longer able to afford her own place.
She moved from house to house, depending on the
kindness of family and friends who would let her stay.
Then, she learned about Fellowship Missions and
decided that was her last option. Checking herself in
was a turning point.
“Since coming here, they have helped me connect
with a doctor. For the first time, I have a regular
physician to help me with the medications I need. I’m
getting counseling that I’ve needed for a long time,
and the staff was able to get me braces for my knees
and a walker. I may even be able to get the double
knee replacement surgery I need,” Jenny said. Jenny
has also made friends at the shelter. They call her
“Giggle Box” because Jenny is, well….giggly.
Jenny’s dream for the future is to have her knee
replacement surgery and be able to live independently
again. In the meantime, Fellowship Missions is home,
“…a place where I feel safe.”
For a full listing of grants made from the Kosciusko REMC Operation Round Up Fund, see pages 28 & 29.

Orthopedic Industry –
Keeping it in the Neighborhood
What would happen if Warsaw
and the surrounding area were no
longer home to the largest cluster
of orthopedic companies in the
world? What would happen to the
more than 6,500 area residents
whose jobs are either directly or
indirectly tied to the industry, and
their families? What would happen
to the businesses and charitable
organizations those companies

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What do OCF and OWX fund?
A. OCF funds all of the initiatives that relate to
education, talent and workforce development,
transportation and logistics, innovation and
entrepreneurship, and community enhancement. OWX,
which works on behalf of OCF and its goals, also funds
branding and awareness (for example the development
of orthoworxindiana.com), and the administrative
expenses (staffing and overhead) to ensure that there

are people to move forward these initiatives to advance
orthopedics for generations to come.
Q. Can my favorite charitable organization apply
for a grant from OCF or OWX?
A. There is not an open grant application process
for either organization. The OWX Board of Directors
identifies, through studies, projects that directly relate
to their mission to keep and grow the orthopedic
cluster. They make investments in those projects.
Q. Where have OCF and OWX had the most impact?
A. In the area of education. The Cambridge Study
OWX sponsored enabled Warsaw Community
Schools to position itself for the success of the STEM
Academy. More recently, OWX helped fund creation
of a mobile STEM laboratory for area elementary
schools – the Warsaw Inquiry Learning Laboratory.
The formation of orthopedic degrees and certificates
through Grace College and Ivy Tech Community
College mean local students can receive skills directly
related to what orthopedic companies are seeking.
Q. Is OWX an economic development organization,
a community development organization, or what?
A. None of those. All of those. OWX’s mission is to
ensure that the orthopedic capital of the world remains
right here in Warsaw. Sometimes the work relates
to economic development – like efforts to train the
workforce through investments in K-12 and higher
education. Sometimes the work relates to community
development – like investments in bicycle and
pedestrian trails and in cultural opportunities that help
attract outside talent to Warsaw.
Q. What are OCF and OWX working on next?
A. They want to keep more Indiana college graduates
working in Indiana for orthopedic companies and to
stimulate the creation of more orthopedic innovations
from universities in Indiana. To that end, OWX has
formed a University and Industry Advisory Board, with
members like Notre Dame, Indiana University, Grace
College and many others to help develop programs
of study and research opportunities. OWX is also
exploring the possibilities of a research clinic network.
Orthopedics Capital Foundation Donors
Who Gave to the OrthoWorx Match Campaign
In 2013, near the end of the initial $7 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., OCF made a proposal to Lilly
Endowment for additional support for its initiatives for the next three years. Lilly Endowment responded with a
$4 million outright grant and a matching opportunity for gifts OCF raised from qualified (related to the orthopedic
industry) donors. OCF raised $1.2 million in gifts that were matched by Lilly Endowment. A total of $2.6 million of
additional funding was raised.

Right Here at Home
Caleb Schooley is an aspiring Robotics teacher. He is
currently a senior at Warsaw Community High School
(WCHS)/Warsaw Area Career Center (WACC). He
assists teacher, Mrs. Abbi Richcreek, with a Project
Lead the Way (PLTW) Robotics class offered this year
at Edgewood Middle School and at WACC. Caleb is
receiving dual credits through Grace College for his
work with students.
For Mrs. Richcreek, nothing is more
rewarding than watching students
engage in what they are learning.
“I struggled as a young student
with written tests,”
Mrs. Richcreek said. “I enjoy allowing students to
show me what they’ve learned.”
In PLTW classes, students engage in project-based
learning, practicing the subject matter with their
hands, tools and technology. Some examples of high
school level PLTW classes include Introduction to
Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, Digital
Electronics, Civil Engineering & Architecture,
Computers Integrated Manufacturing,
Biotechnology Engineering/Forensic
Science and Aerospace Engineering.
Home is...
my favorite place to be.
It means family, neighbors,
love, comfort and traditions.

Caleb Schooley (middle) helps teach Edgewood Middle School students like Starr Partridge
(left) and Ian Glogovsky (right) about Robotics. Currently, they are building robots that can
move across the floor and drop a ball into a tube.
The Robotics class has been a popular middle school
offering. Mrs. Richcreek is especially excited to
see kids exposed to engineering and technology at
younger ages. But, in order to expand class offerings
to students, there have to be teachers qualified in
the subject matter. That can be challenging when
corporate opportunities in the fields of engineering
and technology are much more lucrative than teaching
positions. That’s why Mrs. Richcreek has such high
hopes for Caleb. Caleb has a love and ability for the
subject matter, but he also really enjoys teaching.
“I like helping people learn to program and build the
robots,” Caleb said. He credits his love for the subject
matter and his desire to teach to Mrs. Richcreek.
“She had all of the influence on my career choice.
She introduced me to Robotics and I love the way
she teaches.”
