Carrying It Forward | An Event Celebrating 35 Years of Philanthropy in Southern Indiana
On behalf of the Community Foundation of Southern Indiana, thank you for joining us for Carrying It Forward, our sold-out 35th Anniversary celebration at The Vista.
What an incredible evening.
More than 300 donors, nonprofit leaders, community partners, and friends gathered to celebrate the people, organizations, and acts of generosity that have helped shape Clark and Floyd counties over the past 35 years. Together, we reflected on the impact local philanthropy has made throughout Southern Indiana – and the opportunities that lie ahead.
A special thank you to Tori Murden McClure for sharing her remarkable story of perseverance, purpose, and community. Throughout the evening, her experiences reminded us that while individual determination is important, our greatest accomplishments are often made possible by the people who support us along the way.
We’re also grateful to our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and the outstanding team at The Vista for helping create such a memorable experience.
Relive the Evening
We invite you to revisit the celebration through our event video and photo gallery below. Whether you joined us in person or are simply looking back on a special night, we hope these moments remind you of the power of community and the impact we can create together.
Help Carry It Forward
As we celebrate 35 years of serving Southern Indiana, we remain focused on the future.
Today, every gift to the Community Impact Fund is being matched $2-for-$1 through Lilly Endowment’s GIFT IX initiative. That means every dollar contributed becomes three dollars invested in addressing the greatest needs and opportunities throughout Clark and Floyd counties.
The Community Impact Fund provides flexible, permanent resources that allow our Board of Directors to respond to emerging challenges, support local nonprofits, and invest in projects that strengthen our community for generations to come.
Together, we can continue carrying generosity forward.
Thank You to Our Sponsors
The success of Carrying It Forward would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Thank you for helping us celebrate 35 years of local philanthropy and community impact.
