Grace College Receives $27 Million Through Lilly Endowment’s College and Community Collaboration Initiative

Grace College has received a grant of $27 million from Lilly Endowment Inc. through its initiative, College and Community Collaboration (CCC).

“This is the largest donation in school history,” said Dr. Drew Flamm, president of Grace College. “The $27 million grant will provide partial support for a larger collaborative project in our region that we hope will attract more than $100 million of private and public support.”

The Catalyst Corridor Project is a series of initiatives in Warsaw and Winona Lake that fall into four themes: innovation initiatives, wellbeing amenities, connection ways and enhanced placemaking. Grace worked closely with the town of Winona Lake and the city of Warsaw, along with many community partners, to develop the Catalyst Corridor Project and proposal.
