Giving Dinners

BCCF Giving Dinners have furthered our vision to imagine a better tomorrow for our community through philanthropy…and food! Together with volunteer hosts, we prepare an enchanting evening in a unique location complete with local food, hometown entertainment, and a new way to interact with and give back to the non-profits that serve our community. Almost a dozen dinners have been hosted, raising over $135,000 for various community charities and their endowments.

Look for an invitation in the mail or email to one of these exclusive events. 

Color Walk

Brown County was splashed with color in 2019 to benefit our Preschool Scholarship program. The Color Walk was an excellent family event with no winners or official times. Participants set their own pace, brought their toddlers, and had a fun-filled day with no pressure to compete. Along the two-mile route, runners that began the event wearing white were blasted with different colors until they resembled a rainbow.

Over the last four years, the BCCF has provided $160,792 in grants for 101 children to attend preschool in Brown County. Studies show they will be more likely to graduate from high school, to hold a job, and have higher lifetime earnings.  

Giving Tuesday

Since 2012, the annual Giving Tuesday tradition has raised over $1 billion online in the Unites States. Celebrated after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday shifts our focus away from consumerism and back to celebrating generosity, inspiring millions of grassroots giving activities across the globe.

In 2019 our Giving Tuesday campaign raised $21,204, and it was matched by $63,612 from the Lilly Endowment to benefit our Unrestricted Endowment Fund.
