A nonprofit based in Indiana (especially Indianapolis-area) delivering human services, community center programming, youth development, education, or financial-stability services seeking program or operating support.
Good Fit
- • Primary operations or programs located in Indiana or serving Indianapolis-area residents

Geography
Giving is strongly concentrated in the foundation's home state (about 89% of dollars), though grants in the latest year reached recipients across 31 states; the footprint is effectively state‑level with some out‑of‑state activity.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (270 distinct organizations and 370 grants), with many community centers and human‑service providers funded and modest concentration of dollars (top five ≈18%).
New Applicants
The latest year included a high count of new grantees (121 new recipients, about 45% of recipients) and the profile lists an online application portal and contact email, indicating that unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path to enter the portfolio.
