Grover Center Museum &
Historical Society Agency Fund"The Shelby County Historical Society was astounded at the generosity of Mr. Neibler in supporting our mission of collaborating within our communities to honor the history of the county by celebrating its past, engaging in the present, and inspiring the future. The board unanimously agreed that partnering with the Blue River Community Foundation would be the best way to honor his commitment to the organization and our local communities in Shelby County. Although there are several projects that could immediately use the support that this donation would provide, it was important to the board that Mr. Neibler’s gift was one which would continue to provide for generations to come. Establishing an agency fund as an endowment with the Foundation ensures his legacy and will continue to support our mission long past this fiscal year."
