about the foundation
gfbf impact model of philanthropy
Our mission is to demonstrate the continuing legacy of the Ball Family values and to honor the gifts of George and Frances Ball by providing capacity building advice and grants that make a real difference to organizations sharing similar values, with a primary focus on improving the livability and educational attainment of the citizens of East Central Indiana. |
We envision a community that will continue to be one of the best places to live, work, and play in the State of Indiana. We envision a community that exhibits excellent and accessible educational opportunities for our children and our workforce. We envision a community with a vibrant economy in which careers and jobs are plentiful and upward mobility is accessible. We envision a community where arts and cultural amenities are thriving and its appearance is admired, and a community where our disadvantaged citizens are adequately supported. |
We strive to execute our mission ever mindful that we are responsible for the stewardship and preservation of the significant assets left in our care, to be diligent in demonstrating the Ball Family legacy of excellence in operations and unexcelled integrity, and to be steadfast in our honor of George and Frances Ball by demonstrating our sincere caring for the community in leveraging foundation assets with our time, talents, and knowledge of the community. |
