- Non-Profit
Pete McCown is a man on a mission. With a successful portfolio of experiences in fundraising and higher education administration, destiny came calling ten years ago when he was asked to lead the Community Foundation of Elkhart County, Indiana.
His mission? To demonstrate the primal force a community foundation can be in the lives of others. He’s succeeding admirably.
In ten years, Pete has grown the foundation’s assets five-fold. The Elkhart County Foundation is now one of the nation’s top 100 community foundations. No mean feat.
For Pete, it’s about much more than money. The Foundation isn’t the collector of donor advised funds with “nowhere to go.” Rather, it’s a vibrant organization that is actively improving and enriching the lives of those it touches. He’s taken leadership positions in the area that bridge philanthropy with business development.
In his conversation with Larry, Pete describes that he sees in the future and how the Foundation can become the model for community foundations everywhere.
