The Rush County Community Foundation, the Foundation of Rush County's Future, is a nonprofit public charity established in 1991 to serve donors, award grants and scholarships, and provide leadership to enrich and enhance the quality of life in Rush County, Indiana, not only today, but for our future generations.

As a 501(c)(3) organization all donations to RCCF qualify for the maximum deduction for charitable contributions under Internal Revenue Service rules and guidelines.

We administer endowed funds built by the contributions of donors who wish to support a variety of local charitable causes. Earnings from these funds are used to dispense grants with the expressed intent of the donor in mind.

Tribute Gifts allow you to make a contribution the Rush County Community Foundation or any of its funds in memory or honor of an individual or a special occasion. Please download and print a Tribute Gift form for your contribution. Please note that in order to download this form you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader which comes pre-installed on many computer systems or may be freely downloaded from this location. If you do not have such Reader, you may also contact the Foundation office for a Tribute Gift form.
