15. GIVE IT FORWARD
5% can make a
$3.31 million
difference
to future generations.
The net worth of Delaware County is estimated to be $4.59 billion. Over the next 10 years,
$1.32 billion is expected to be transferred from one generation to the next. If every estate
gave just 5% to the community for future generations, The Community Foundation of Muncie
and Delaware County, Inc. could grant an additional $3.31million each year, forever.

The real difference:
PEOPLE POWER
Resident engagement is mission critical

19. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE
SIX ELEMENTS OF RESIDENT ENGAGEMENT
1 Represent the community in your choices for staff,
board and committee members.
2 Listen to resident concerns and ideas about the
community’s future.
3 Offer information, space and support to others
engaging residents.
4 Understand civic systems and processes to help residents
connect with the public sector.
5 Partner with residents to advance their ideas
and solve problems.
6 Measure level and quality of resident
engagement in all efforts.
Based on Engaging Residents: A New Call to Action for
Community Foundations, a 2013 report prepared by the
CFLeads Cultivating Community Engagement Panel.

20. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
PRINCIPLES OF POWERFUL
RESIDENT ENGAGEMENT
Inclusive. People from all parts
of the community’s population
are involved in every way.
Everyone gives. All parties contribute
to the effort, drawing on their individual
strengths and assets.
Reciprocity. Organizations and
individuals teach and learn from each
other in a two-way exchange.
Assets, not deficits. All residents have
power and ability. Communities can identify,
use and leverage assets such as time,
talents, experiences, networks and more.
Partnership, not directorship.
Organizations and individuals work with,
rather than for or on behalf of communities.
