    A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION urging the Governor to proclaim a day honoring community foundations.

    Whereas, Throughout the years, community foundations have been instrumental in connecting donors to the causes they care most about;

    Whereas, Community foundations help individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofit organizations achieve their charitable goals by offering tools and resources that make giving easy and effective;

    Whereas, Community foundations are local organizations run and led by local people who have an in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and resources that affect their community, enabling them to help solve community problems, while helping donors learn more about local needs to make their giving as effective as possible;

    Whereas, Community foundations have much lower administrative costs than other charities and fund their programs with the earnings from their assets, leaving the underlying assets free to generate future income for future programs;

    Whereas, There are more than 650 community foundations throughout the United States working to help the people and organizations that need it most;

    Whereas, In Indiana, Eli Lilly and Company has a long

history of giving back to the community; and

    Whereas, Community foundations are created by and for the people of a community, working together to help those in need: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the General Assembly

of the State of Indiana, the House of Representatives concurring:

    SECTION 1. That the Indiana General Assembly urges the Governor to proclaim Community Foundations Day in honor of all community foundations throughout the state.
    SECTION 2. That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the Secretary of the Senate to Governor Daniels.
