The Foundation focuses on three areas: Education, Health, and the Vitality of Indianapolis. We award grants aligned with these goals and strategies while also tracking the progress of and evaluating the impact of our work. We also share compelling data and evidence-based policy and program recommendations. These can help our community partners better understand and address critical issues affecting Indianapolis as well as identify opportunities for making significant progress. We know that we cannot achieve our goals alone, which is why we partner with organizations working in aligned focus areas to maximize efforts and outcomes.
