As a community foundation, Gary Care's mission is very broad: to improve the quality of life in Gary, Norman County and our surrounding area. A foundation brings hope to challenging situations.

This breadth of our mission reflects our ability to make grants in any field of interest with a charitable benefit to our communities.
