HCCF Welcomes New Endowment Manager
Corydon, Ind. (November 6, 2026) – The Harrison County Community Foundation (HCCF) is pleased to welcome Sarah Dougherty as the new Endowment Manager. This position became available when Kim Carter was promoted to Scholarship Manager.
As the Endowment Manager, Sarah will oversee HCCF’s endowment program, working with individuals and nonprofit organizations in Harrison County holding endowment funds at the Foundation. She will provide fundholders with resources, guidance, and support to strengthen their endowment funds’ long-term sustainability while ensuring each fund fulfills the charitable purposes for which it was established. Additional responsibilities include maintaining relationships with fundholders and supporting the continued impact of individual charitable initiatives and Harrison County nonprofits.
Dougherty is a Harrison County native who grew up in Laconia and graduated from South Central High School. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Business with a concentration in Marketing from Indiana University Southeast and resides in Corydon with her husband and daughters. Before joining HCCF, Sarah spent 18 years at Harrison County Hospital, starting with a focus in marketing in 2008 before advancing to a leadership role as Marketing and Physician Recruiting Manager in 2013.
“Sarah brings strong communication, relationship development, and community engagement skills with her,” said HCCF President & CEO Julie Moorman. “We are excited to welcome her to the team.”
Dougherty is refilling the position previously held by Kim Carter, who served as HCCF’s Endowment Manager beginning in January 2023 before being promoted to Scholarship Manager in July 2026.
As the Scholarship Manager, Kim oversees HCCF’s scholarship program for both high school graduates and adult learners. Her responsibilities include collaborating with high school counselors, principals, and superintendents. She serves as the primary point of contact for all scholarship recipients and will handle processing scholarship payments. She also coordinates the Youth Philanthropy Council (YPC) as part of the Leadership Harrison County Youth Leadership Program, which provides students with an opportunity to learn more about philanthropy.
“In her time on staff, Kim has made significant contributions to the success of the Foundation. Her organization, communication, and relationship-building skills will serve her well in balancing the many facets of managing the scholarship program at the Foundation,” said Moorman.
The Foundation looks forward to the contributions of both team members as they support the endowment and scholarship programs and continue to grow Harrison County into the best place to live, work, and raise a family.
