COLUMBUS, Ind. – At its annual meeting last week, the Board of Directors of the Jeffris Family Foundation awarded a $500,000 Challenge Grant to the Friends of First Christian Church Architecture, a group administered by Heritage Fund – The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County, to support the restoration of the church’s iconic clock tower.
The Jeffris Family Foundation Challenge Grant provides a $1 match for every $2 that is pledged to the project. The Jeffris Family Foundation is based in Janesville, Wisconsin, and focuses on projects of national significance in smaller communities in the Midwest.
