MILFORD – Camp Alexander Mack has received a $2,622,406 grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. through its Capital Project Initiative for Residential Youth Camps.
With the support of this matching grant, Camp Alexander Mack will be able to fund the recently adopted master facility plan focused on increased accessibility. This project will be a significant step in our mission to provide a sanctuary where all people are welcomed to connect with God, experience creation, and build Christian community, according to a news release.
Executive Director Gene Hollenberg said, “This grant is transformative for Camp Mack. In our 101st year, we begin creating a new foundation for the next 100 years. Lilly Endowment Inc. is making it possible for us to continue sharing the message of God’s love and care for all children in a safe and welcoming environment.”
These improvements were made possible by an earlier award provided in December of 2025 by Lilly Endowment Inc. That $1 million grant has been applied to necessary improvements in camp infrastructure.
The grant is one of 40 implementation grants being awarded through phase three of the Lilly Endowment initiative, which aims to help Indiana residential youth camps improve the overall camp experience and outcomes for youth through new, enhanced and expanded facilities integral to quality youth camp programming. The latest grants, which were competitive, provide partial support for large-scale capital projects.
