Avon Outdoor Learning Center The Avon Outdoor Learning Center received a $2,250 grant to stabilize the trails at the center to allow for better accessibility for students with mobility limitations. The grant will cover the costs of two of the OLC's main trails, which will allow students with mobility limitations to get out and enjoy our cabin, bird feeder area, and the covered bridge over the stream. Hendricks Community Calendar The Community Foundation used $1,000 to build and create the new Hendricks Community Calendar to allow local groups to post events both to allow nonprofits to coordinate and collaborate their fundraising and volunteer opportunities AND allow local residents to find ways to get involved in our community. Hendricks County Arts Council The Hendricks County Arts Council received a $5,000 matching grant to support the Mural Society. The Mural Society's fundraising efforts will support hiring artists to design Hendricks County-themed murals for the smaller towns in our county (e.g. Clayton, Amo, Coatesville, Lizton, North Salem) who may not have the funds provided by town government or service organizations to do a project of this scale. The funds will help hire artists, design murals, and print marketing materials to reach out to these communities. The 2023 mural is being planned in Mill Creek. Hendricks County Chambers of Commerce The Hendricks County Chambers of Commerce received a $5,000 grant to launch their collaborative Public Policy Learning Sessions on Advocacy, Attainable Housing, Education, Childcare and Workforce issues. These programs are open to the public and are listed on each of the four chambers' websites. Hendricks County International Festival The Hendricks County International Festival received a $25,000 ($5,000 per year for 5 years) grant to celebrate the diversity in Hendricks County and Central Indiana.
