Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Marion County and statewide Indiana K-12 schools, including charters and parochial
  • Theological education, clergy formation, congregational vitality nationwide
  • Indiana community development: parks, community foundations, youth programs
  • Character development and vocation in higher education
  • National capacity building for large charities and military service organizations

Typical grant

Median grant is $50,000 and the middle half runs $8,000 to $750,000, so most of the file is modest Indiana community giving. The money, though, is concentrated in a small tier of eight and nine figure initiative grants: $400 million each for statewide parks and Indiana K-12, $10 to $50 million per institution under named initiatives like Pathways for Tomorrow and the Marion County K-12 Education Initiative. Repeat giving is common, with institutions like Duke, Fuller Theological Seminary, and several Indiana community foundations appearing multiple times in a single year under different initiatives.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • PATHWAYS FOR TOMORROW INITIATIVE
  • MARION COUNTY K-12 EDUCATION INIT
  • YOUTH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
  • CAPACITY BUILDING
  • THRIVING CONGREGATIONS INITIATIVE

Positioning adjacent work

  • Tie work to an existing named initiative; the Endowment funds cohorts, not one-off proposals.
  • If your work touches character or vocation formation in undergraduates, connect to Wake Forest and CIC precedents.
  • Indiana-based applicants should frame projects as statewide or Marion County benefit, not institutional need.
  • Ask at the $50,000 to $750,000 range unless you are a national intermediary with cohort reach.

Worth knowing: Indiana takes 4,896 of 7,478 grants, and Indianapolis institutions dominate the largest checks, so out-of-state applicants realistically need a religion, theological education, or national capacity-building angle. Giving is invitation-driven and relationship-heavy: the nine-figure awards go to entities the Endowment itself created or has funded for decades.
