Join us for the launch of United Way in Carroll County!

Delphi, IN – United Way of Greater Lafayette is excited to announce the establishment of United Way in Carroll County, continuing a proud tradition of community support and philanthropy. This launch marks a new chapter following the legacy of the Carroll County United Fund, which had previously provided approximately $50,000 annually to support local nonprofits.

To celebrate this milestone, we are hosting a launch event on August 15th at 5:00 PM at the Wabash and Erie Canal in Delphi, IN. We invite community members, businesses, and nonprofits to join us for this special occasion. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the new United Way in Carroll County, our mission, and the continued support we plan to offer to the local community, as well as a chance to win $500 for a nonprofit of your choice.

The Carroll County United Fund had been a cornerstone of local philanthropy, providing essential funding to various nonprofits that served the Carroll County community for decades. As we transition to United Way in Carroll County, we are committed to maintaining and expanding this support, ensuring that our local nonprofits have the resources they need to thrive. An application for funding is available at uwlafayette.org/carroll/2024funding/.

Tom Murtaugh, Board President of United Way of Greater Lafayette, stated, “We are honored to carry forward the legacy of the Carroll County United Fund. Our goal is to build on its foundation of generosity and community spirit, providing even greater support to local nonprofits and addressing the needs of Carroll County residents.”

United Way in Carroll County will focus on key areas such as education, financial stability, and health—pillars that are essential for a strong and thriving community. Through collaboration with local partners and community members, we aim to create lasting change and improve the lives of individuals and families in Carroll County.
