ELKHART, Ind. (WOWO): Five Elkhart County nonprofits are getting a share of more than $2.3-million in grant money from the Elkhart Community Foundation.

Inside Indiana Business says the Key Initiative Grants go to projects that have a “transformative nature” about them.

The projects include construction of a nature trail between County Road 33 and County Road 20, the renovation of the Goshen Theatre, and a new Child Care Center building for the Walnut Hill Early Childhood Center.
