Tri Kappa is a unique philanthropic organization because it exists only within the boundaries of the state of Indiana. The organization was founded in 1901 in Indianapolis by a group of seven young ladies at the Girls' Classical School founded by May Wright Sewall. Each was to begin a chapter in her hometown. From these humble beginnings, Tri Kappa has thrived to 147 active chapters and 123 associate chapters with almost 10,000 members.

The mission of the ECCF is to inspire people to make charitable gifts that improve the quality of life in Elkhart County. As a public, tax-exempt, philanthropic organization, created by and for all the people of the county, we solicit and development endowment funds and distribute income from them for the benefit of our community.

The Dekko Foundation is a private, family, foundation started in 1981 by the late Chester E. (Chet) Dekko. Mr. Dekko was an entrepreneur, a business and community leader, and a dedicated family man. He believed in education as the key to an independent, meaningful, successful life.
