Joe’s Kids is the sixth non-profit to achieve a fundraising challenge issued by the Kosciusko County Community Foundation.
They raised $10,000 for their endowment, and will now complete training to receive $40,000 in matching funds.
It’s part of the Endowment Challenge 50 launched back in May in celebration of Kosciusko County Community Foundation’s 50th anniversary.

“Joe’s Kids provides critical services for the special needs kids of Kosciusko County to reach their full potential,” said Suzie Light, Community Foundation CEO. “It’s exciting to see this organization take what they’ve learned from the training workshops and develop a successful campaign.” Michele Bickel, Joe’s Kids Director of Community Relations also commented, “This will help make Joe’s Kids a sustainable non-profit, ensuring that our care remains available to the children who need us for many years to come.”
Other organizations who have completed the challenge include Kosciusko Literacy Services, CASA of Kosciusko County, the Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, and Baker Youth Club.
