Among the highlights of 2017:

  • We topped last year’s record-setting grants payout by awarding $7.3 million to nonprofit organizations in Muncie, Delaware County, and East Central Indiana.

  • We stepped up our efforts as a community convener by hosting a downtown visioning summit; inviting Indiana’s governor to a gathering of healthcare professionals; engaging workforce development professionals and postsecondary education leaders in a listening session with Indiana’s newly appointed secretary of career connections and talent; and organizing a bus tour with BBF’s board of directors to acquaint BSU’s new president with BBF-funded projects in Delaware County.

  • We presented the BBF Excellence in Teaching Award to Chris Holdren, a fifth-grade educator at Selma Elementary School; and we honored John Craddock with the John & Janice Fisher Governance Award for his service to Community Enhancement Projects, Inc.

  • We continued a three-year orientation program for Ball family members from across the U.S. who are interested in learning about foundation governance and the Muncie community.
