The Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation awards grants to tax-exempt organizations serving greater Indianapolis, Indiana. The Foundation has established goals and strategies within three focus areas: 教育, 健康，以及 印第安纳波利斯的活力.

作为一个总体理念，基金会致力于支持由高效的董事会和执行领导层领导、以目标为导向、并持续交付强劲成果的组织和计划。该基金会特别有兴趣支持旨在解决未满足的需求并在其重点领域内带来变革的举措。此外，评估计划和倡议的影响以及与社区利益相关者分享经验教训是基金会工作的重要组成部分。

The Foundation is currently only accepting inquiries from organizations whose work aligns with our Education focus area. If you seek to become a grantee, the first step is to determine your eligibility and assess your alignment, as described in our 补助金申请流程. Please note we are not inviting proposals or accepting inquiries in our Health or Vitality of Indianapolis focus areas.
