Caesars Entertainment partnership expands unrestricted support for local nonprofits

Hamilton County Community Foundation announces that Caesars Entertainment has contributed $10,000 to the Foundation’s unrestricted endowment through a new partnership for both organizations. With Lilly Endowment’s GIFT IX matching initiative, this gift will grow to a total impact of $30,000.

This investment comes at a time when Hamilton County continues to evolve and experience both new opportunities and emerging needs. Through Lilly Endowment’s two-to-one match contributions to HCCF’s endowments – like Caesars Entertainment’s – are amplified, allowing today’s generosity to create longer lasting support for our community.

“At Harrah’s Hoosier Park and Caesars Entertainment as a whole, we are deeply committed to strengthening the communities we call home, and this partnership represents another meaningful step in that mission,” said Colin Skidmore, Caesers Entertainment’s SVP and General Manager. “By working together, we can create lasting impact for local families, support important initiatives, and enhance the overall quality of life across the region. We’re proud to align with an organization that shares our values and dedication to giving back.”

Unrestricted endowment funds are among the most powerful tools available to meet those needs. Because they are not limited to a single purpose, these funds allow the Foundation to respond where support is needed most, whether that is by helping a nonprofit expand mental health services, increasing access to education, or addressing food insecurity. Over time, these resources help organizations remain stable, responsive, and prepared for the future.

“As Hamilton County continues to grow, new partnerships like this help ensure that opportunities and resources grow alongside it,” said Danielle Stiles-Polk, president of Hamilton County Community Foundation. “By investing in HCCF, Caesars Entertainment has reinforced our ability to support more local nonprofits sustainably.”
