According to the ACCF, this grant was made possible through unrestricted funds sponsored by the Don Wood Family Community Enrichment Fund. Don Wood was a well-known respected businessman, innovator, and pacesetter from Columbia City, Indiana. With the support of his two sons, John and Doug, the three started a business. The Wood family grew 80/20 Inc. in Whitley County.
The ACCF strives to uphold the reputation of the Wood family and works to promote the generosity of the Wood Family Fund.
