Description
The Central Indiana Senior Fund (CISF), a fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, provides annual grants to nonprofit organizations serving older adults (ages 55 and older) in Central Indiana, especially those who are low-to-moderate income, underserved, or isolated. The fund prioritizes programs that address racial equity and focuses on key areas such as aging in place, food security, social connection, caregiver support, homelessness prevention, and services for immigrant and undocumented seniors. In addition to grantmaking, CISF collaborates with research partners to better understand and respond to the evolving needs of the region’s older adult population.
