In December 2003, the MainSource Bank Board of Directors created the MainSource Fund for Community Grantmaking in the Franklin County Community Foundation.
The bank began the fund with $5,000. Thanks to the Lilly Endowment GIFT V challenge, the gift was matched, making the fund total $10,000. This community granting endowment allows the FCCF to make grants to local non-profit organizations for important projects each year. Because MainSource Bank did not designate how the funds are to be spent, the community foundations may target the areas they believe need funding the most.
