Public Charities and Foundations Benefit Indiana Communities
Deliver vital community services
From its founding in 1990,the Sycamore Land Trust has protected more than 9,777
protected acres as of April 2019. Sycamore also operates an Environmental Education
program that connects people of all ages to nature, including more than 6,000 people in
2018.
Give voice to the people they serve
The world’s first school of philanthropy was established in Indiana’s very own capital city
in 2012: the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. The school aims to
help graduates maximize their impact in societies both at home and abroad, and has
seen skyrocketing rates of enrollment since its opening. 93% of graduates seeking jobs
have been placed, including 100% of bachelor’s degree graduates.
Contribute to vibrant communities
As the largest arts institution in the tri-state area, the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra
partners with other performing arts groups in the area to put on both professional and
youth concerts each year. Dedicated to community enrichment, EPO offers school-based and personalized music instruction as well as concerts geared towards children.
Advance solutions for challenges facing society
In response to the devastating global pandemic, Indiana United Ways distributed more
than $17 million in 2020 from its COVID-19 Economic Relief Initiative fund toward food,
shelter, childcare, nonprofit infrastructure maintenance, and other critical local needs.
