The Black Philanthropy Circle (BPC), formed by IU alumni and friends of the university, addresses education issues faced by Black communities through the power of philanthropic giving. In partnership with the Indiana University Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (OVPDEI), the BPC establishes programs that improve the recruitment, retention, and degree attainment for Black students, faculty, and staff on IU’s seven campuses, two regional centers, and beyond.

Your gift can help us:

  • Replace obstacles with opportunities
  • Build a leadership pipeline
  • Enhance research and academic engagement

Your giving matters

Many students face barriers throughout their educational journeys. In order to increase access and completion, we must clear these pathways so that every student can succeed.
