Description
Women’s Foundation of Indiana, presented by Central Indiana Community Foundation, invests in nonprofit partners and community-informed solutions that improve outcomes for women and girls. Its grantmaking supports health, personal safety and intimate partner violence prevention, economic mobility, and girls’ empowerment. The foundation seeks to help effective work grow, strengthen networks of care, and expand opportunities through organizations women trust.
As it expands statewide, the foundation is considering how community priorities will shape grantmaking in 2027 and beyond, including greater integration of Trust-Based Philanthropy. Its annual competitive grants remain rooted in Central Indiana, while a separate Indiana Fund supports limited investments elsewhere in the state. Grantmaking complements research and advocacy aimed at addressing gaps in systems and access, with solutions shaped by women’s experiences and community data.
