Blueprint: The 2022 Annual Report 

From its beginning, The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County has had a plan to grow, following a blueprint to build an enduring source of community support. Over the last several years, the community, and The Community Foundation, have been presented with new opportunities and faced many challenges. To be responsive to the community’s needs, our blueprint needed some adjustments. In this 2022 annual report, we share our updated blueprint.
