Make a way where life situations have grid locked the ability of our community to move forward.

VISION: WE WILL DO THIS BY

Honoring our community with efforts to help make it an even better place to live, work, play, and raise a family while showing respect for all the people of our community.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

WHAT WE DO? UNLOCK HOPE

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.
This flexibility allows us to serve a wider group of potential donors on the one hand and, on the other, a wider group of nonprofit organizations whom we consider our partners in improving local communities.
