Kimball Electronics Gives, the employee giving circle of Kimball Electronics, achieved a record-breaking year in 2024, both in raising an impressive $14,500 for various worthy causes, and reaching 80 total Partners. This remarkable achievement was further amplified by Kimball Electronics' matching of Partnership fees, adding an additional $6,860 to the total funds raised, which is a record for Kimball Electronics. In 2024, Kimball Electronics Gives awarded 13 grants to various charities. To date, 36 charities have shared in $68,936 since 2018.

The 2024 grant recipients, selected based on Partner voting, include:

$500: Parents Supporting Education (Jasper)

For the first time, Kimball Electronics Gives included a guest speaker at the event. Indianapolis lawyer Dwayne Isaacs participated in a Q&A session themed "The Paths of Good." Last year, Dwayne was tasked with giving away $13 million dollars to local charities on behalf of an HR director of a VA hospital, Terry Kahn, who passed away. No one knew that Terry was a secret millionaire.

"It started out as a feeling of an incredible responsibility that Terry had given me, and it turned into an incredible gift that Terry had given me. I mean that. Who gets to give away $13 million? I got to meet so many wonderful people and was introduced to so many wonderful organizations. It truly ended up being an absolute gift," said Dwayne. "I'm now personally making annual gifts to a handful of these organizations because they've become kind of near and dear to my heart."

Information on how to become a 2025 Partner will be shared with Kimball Electronics employees starting in January. The Kimball Electronics Gives giving circle looks forward to continuing its tradition of generosity and making a positive impact in the coming year.
