The next chapter of the Indianapolis Foundation
President and CEO Ahmed Young’s commentary on the future of the Indianapolis Foundation was recently featured in the Indianapolis Recorder.
As the new president and CEO of the Indianapolis Foundation (IF), I am humbled to join an organization whose roots run deep in the fabric of our community. Since its founding in 1916, IF has been a catalyst for civic leadership and community investment, working to ensure that every Indianapolis resident has the opportunity to thrive.
Over the past century, IF has partnered with individuals, families and organizations to build a stronger, more inclusive community. Our history reflects a commitment to addressing the most pressing needs of each era — from supporting public health initiatives during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, to funding arts and cultural institutions, to fostering economic and educational opportunities. Through all these moments, IF has stood as a steward of charitable resources and a trusted convener of leaders.
