The community foundation whole

ROW #563 · LEG 83 ITEM 9 · DUG (founding test + dated scale) / NAMED GAP (a $5,000 founding gift; Osceola funds by name)

The banked build states the boundary negative — no community foundation is seated in Osceola; the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County is the county seat's — and this article performs the two tests the register found missing. First, the founding-gift test on the foundation's own record: the Foundation's published record, read entire as reached, dates its life "since 1992" ("connecting people who care with causes that matter") and describes its mechanism whole — gifts received, invested forever, earnings granted yearly — but publishes no founding gift and no founding-gift amount in the record reached. The register's parenthetical — "including a founding gift that is five thousand dollars" — is a pattern carried from another city's running (a $5,000 founding gift is the documented shape elsewhere in these builds); tested against this foundation's own record, no $5,000 founding gift, and no founding gift of any amount, is stated. That is a tested result about the published record, printed at exactly that strength; the Foundation's articles, first Form 990, or a founding history could state what its web record does not. The $5,000 founding gift for CFSJC: TESTED NEGATIVE on the foundation's own published record; NAMED GAP as to its corporate record. Second, the present scale, dated: the Foundation administers 80-plus funds (Inside Philanthropy's count) and awards approximately $10 million in grants a year, holding more than $255 million in assets on the July 18, 2024 profile; competitive grants typically run $2,000–$20,000 and have reached $900,000. No Osceola- or Penn-named fund, and no Osceola-addressed grant total, is published in the record reached — NAMED GAP: the Foundation's grants database and fund register read for Osceola/Penn names, the same settler named in articles 1 and 4.

Closure: MIXED as stated — foundation DUG at dated scale; founding gift TESTED NEGATIVE on the published record with the corporate gap named; Osceola funds NAMED GAP.
