✶ Founder’s Advisory Council
The Founder’s Advisory Council (FAC) was founded with the goal of growing awareness for the mission of Big Shoulders Fund Northwest Indiana and expanding its supporter base by engaging professionals and local companies in our work through volunteerism in schools and on committees, outreach to the community and their networks, fundraising, and more. The FAC uses their diverse backgrounds, experiences, and professional skills to contribute to the mission of Big Shoulders Fund.
