Grantmaking
Through strategic and equity-focused grantmaking, we will invest in the people, organizations, and ideas that move Indianapolis closer to becoming a truly thriving city. Our grants support bold solutions that address the root causes of systemic inequities—whether it’s expanding access to affordable housing, creating economic opportunities, improving community health, or advancing environmental justice. By resourcing the community-based organizations closest to the work, we help build stronger neighborhoods, foster inclusive growth, and ensure every resident has a fair shot at a better future.
Community leadership and coalition building
We will leverage our capital in the community to create progress for residents. However, we cannot do this alone and will seek to bring together diverse groups of stakeholders that include industry, non-profit partners, and residents to build authentic coalitions to address these complex issues and advance our shared interests.
Co-investment
We will model a collaborative community-investment approach to maximize and leverage resources available to create systemic change for our community.
Policy Development
We will engage in public policy and advocacy to drive social change, challenge unjust systems, and promote fairness and opportunity across each of these focus areas.
Impact Investing
We will take diverse approaches to community investment and will seek out opportunities that create positive social impact for residents while generating a financial return that will be reinvested into the community.
