Reflecting on our Impact

LOOKING BACK. MOVING AHEAD.

Since its inception in 1986, the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation has worked to advance the vitality of Indianapolis and the well-being of its people.

Every five years, the Fairbanks Foundation’s Board of Directors reflects on the challenges and opportunities facing Indianapolis to guide our work moving forward. In 2020, the Board reaffirmed its commitment to three focus areas: Educación, Salud, y el Vitalidad de Indianápolis. 

From 2020 to 2024, we have worked to improve outcomes in these areas by awarding grants; sharing research and data; convening and collaborating with organizations doing similar work; and raising awareness of opportunities and challenges facing Indianapolis.
