We Say Thanks<br />
<strong>2018</strong> Investors<br />
Our success is attributed to the families and businesses who have invested in the <strong>Foundation</strong> over<br />
the past 75 years. Many are listed below. This report is dedicated to them.<br />
Why do gifts matter? The future of <strong>Tipp</strong> <strong>City</strong> is better because of the impact that gifts make.<br />
How is that impact seen? It is seen through our grant awards (page 2—5).<br />
Gifts add up. Our first investor back<br />
in 1943 was Ed Timmer when he<br />
launched the <strong>Foundation</strong> with only<br />
$1,300. Today the assets of the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> total over $4.25 million.<br />
Our investors are change agents.<br />
Seventy-five years ago, the internet,<br />
smart phones and social media<br />
didn’t exist. Times change. Today,<br />
each of those words dart through our<br />
vocabulary and community, along with<br />
their implications.<br />
Increasingly, investors rely on the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> to keep a pulse on the<br />
community’s changing needs. While<br />
investors make their gifts today,<br />
because of the long-view of endowed<br />
giving, their contributions endure<br />
forever. In <strong>2018</strong>, over 500 gifts were<br />
received. And we are forever grateful.<br />
Join us in thanking our neighbors for<br />
their support. Although every attempt<br />
was made to assure the accuracy<br />
of this list, we apologize for any<br />
omissions or errors that may have<br />
been made. Please contact us with<br />
information to improve the accuracy<br />
of this list for the future.<br />

TIMELINE<br />
1943<br />
<strong>Tipp</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>,<br />
a community trust, is<br />
founded with a $1,300<br />
gift from Ed Timmer.<br />
This is our 1st<br />

The first legacy gift arrives. The gift is<br />
from the estate of Emma Henke Warner<br />
in memory of her father August Henke.<br />
When Mr. Henke died in 1923, he was<br />
known as “<strong>Tipp</strong>ecanoe’s Oldest Man.”<br />
This results in the August Henke Comfort<br />
