Thank you for considering a gift to the R/Evolution Fund.
The R/Evolution Fund was created in response to the growing impact of gentrification on Indianapolis’s creative communities. As rising costs push many BIPOC artists into financial crisis, this fund offers immediate, practical support through $500 emergency bill-pay grants—ensuring artists can remain rooted in their neighborhoods and continue creating the work that enriches our city.
Cooperatively managed by Irvington Vinyl & Books, The Kheprw Institute, Musical Family Tree, and the Indiana Writers Center, the fund reflects a shared commitment to protecting the cultural heartbeat of Indianapolis.
Donations made to the Indianapolis Foundation for the R/Evolution Fund are matched dollar for dollar, multiplying the impact of community support.
With your support, we can ensure that BIPOC artists have the support they need to weather hardship and continue shaping Indianapolis’s cultural future.
