$14 Million Potential for Good Works in Posey County by 2015
A new study projects $412 billion will be transferred among Indiana generations by 2055, with $66 billion changing hands by 2015.  Commissioned by the Indiana Grantmakers Alliance, the study includes county-by-county projections showing the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next.  If just 5 percent of the projected wealth transfer for Posey County is captured in donations to the community foundation, there is the potential for $14 million in grants for improvements to the county in the next 10 years.  The Indiana Grantmakers Alliance calls this a historic opportunity for charitable investments.  Community leaders hope the results will inspire people - at all income levels - to consider making a charitable investment to enhance our quality of life and strengthen communities.
