Food Finders Food Bank is among more than 25 nonprofit agencies in Tippecanoe County to benefit from the expertise of the advancement office at Purdue University.

One might think, with just two years remaining in a $1.5 billion fundraising campaign, that the folks in advancement would be too busy to take on volunteer work.

But connecting with the community is also a goal, so as a part of the local portion of the Campaign for Purdue, the fundraising arm of the Big Ten university has finished or nearly completed 18 nonprofit audits and is working on eight more."
