The Indiana County Endowment (ICE), formerly known as the Greater Indiana Endowment, was established in 1990 by local citizens who contributed their time and financial resources to support worthwhile improvements in the community. These early patrons included Indiana native Jimmy Stewart and his wife, Gloria.
ICE is a component fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation, the 13th largest community foundation in the United States. The Pittsburgh Foundation was established in 1945 and administers over 1,900 charitable funds with assets of more than $1 billion but, all donations to ICE will be used in Indiana County.
The mission of the Indiana County Endowment (ICE) is to meet needs in Indiana County by providing grants to qualified nonprofit organizations. ICE recognizes that community organizations require assistance with programs, products, and approaches in order to meet demonstrated cultural, ecological, social, educational, recreational and economic needs. ICE encourages programs that will enrich the community, encouraging both individuals and organizations to develop creative ideas and initiatives to aid the community, and encouraging the wide possible citizen involvement in advancing the social, economic and cultural development of Indiana County, PA.
ICE provides seed monies to help activate a venture conceived, designed and executed by a group, club or organization within Indiana County; as a grant-in-aid for a research or study project for the benefit of Indiana County; provides support for specific events; and/or provides help to initiate activities to secure or improve property for the general welfare of Indiana County. However, ICE does not provide grants for normal operating expenses or assists commercial enterprises.
