This month, we are featuring Harmony IN Horses, a non-profit organization that connects wild-born mustangs with foster youth. This group received its first grant from Boone REMC’s Operation Round Up. I hope you take the time to read about the fantastic work they are doing for children and animals.

In 2025, we are making a conscious effort to highlight more charitable programs like Harmony IN Horses in the magazine. Organizations in rural areas can have a hard time getting the spotlight and funding they deserve but can be big influences in the communities they serve. 

As we try to showcase more of these groups, I’m asking you, our readers, to send in recommendations of groups doing good. Do you know of a charity in your backyard that is helping your community? Maybe they are providing services for children or families or creating a safe space for others in need. Perhaps it’s just one person you know who saw something they wanted to change and are trying to make a difference by themselves. 

You can send charity nominations to my email, bdavis@indianaec.org, or mail them to our office at 11805 Pennsylvania Street, Carmel, IN 46032.

I know there are many Hoosiers across the state who are bettering their communities. At Indiana Connection, we want to recognize that work and hopefully inspire others to improve the lives of those around them as well.
